Sifty on the way out - I wanted to give the police an accurate ETA at Petone. I checked for power on the way home - there was none! Still, bloody nice to get out, after five and a half weeks inside...

Have a good ride everyone, I hope it can be calm and thoughtful and not too angry. I'm having to miss it as I'm home with a sick child.
