Zephyrus has been 'in a boatyard 'on the hard' for a couple of months now... and she's looking beautiful. Before making the final polish, we're going travelling for a few weeks with Andy's parents around New Zealand. Thereafter we'll have her floating again for adventures anew.

Since this latest adventure has found its destination, I have transferred all the smilingfootprints entries and comments to rhiansalmon.com and will continue writing there. This site will remain accessible, and anyone who subscribes to these posts via feedburner or email will continue to receive updates.

It's been fun!
