The last few years there has been a Facebook group started each season titled something like "Opua to Fiji 2022" or similar. Hopefully something similar starts this year as it was very useful as most boats joined it.
Check out Sailorama on YouTube, a couple of very resourceful young sailors with little in the way of money who are slowly restoring their free boat while sailing around Mexico/Caribbean. They haven't had a working engine in quite a long time, but haven't let that stop them!
