James, your life is monumental and I honour and thank you.

I trust you are OK and your knees attended to.

I now sail my Hinemoa 23, "Waka Rua". She was "Surfari" owned by Phil and Susan Smith, Mt Maunganui NZ.

Kapai! Fantastic. Well done everybody. Having owned, sailed, believed in and loved Wharrams since 1982 I find this footage wonderful and very emotional. My family and I dined on Gaia in 1996 in Vila with James, Haneke, Ruth, Jamie and Freya when they had just arrived back from their first Tikopian voyage, still daubed in Tumeric. We were anchored in Vila on Ika Roa, our 42 foot Narai.

Fantastic! Everyone involved with this project should be applauded for acheiving this result. Thank you Hanneke for sharing these special moments with us. I will be playing this video back whenever I feel daunted by the build of my own Tiki 38. One day, in the not too distant future, I will be sailing those waters and visiting Anuta myself. Can't wait! Well done again to all involved in the Lapita Voyage.
