Last week Tintin was loaded onto the deck of the ship that will bring her home from Auckland to Southampton. Minervagracht will be heading east-about via Tahiti, the Panama Canal and Fort Lauderdale. The journey will take about 45 days, AGWWP*. This phrase is a new one to us. The shipping company, Seven Stars, use it at the end of all their emails regarding dates. Due to the pandemic the shipping date has changed from mid March to late May. It's great news that Tintin is now underway and we hope to see her in Southampton in late June.
* All going well weather permitting.
