on the 27th January 2004, Most of 40 people from all over the world (one person was from Canada and another lived in Germany) met up in a place called Lyttleton near Christchurch. On the 28 of January, when all of the trainees had met up and got used to the Boat They  thought it was time to make the 417 Voyage come to life.While sailing from Lyttleton all the way (While going through bad weather causing most of the crew to get sea sick on Day 2) to Port Pegasus  near the bottom of Stewart Island and landing in Bluff at the bottom of the south Island on the 7th of Febuary,the 417 Trainees were becoming one big happy family and we were really sad to have said goodbye, but every few weeks or months or even days some 417 dude or dudette gets to see another 417 dude or dudette and every year or so, thier is a Renioun, which brings back all the trainees on that voyage. Read "What we dont at the 417 Renioun" to learn about my Voyages renioun on Quarantine Island in Dunedin Habour in July 2004 and read about all the fun and great times we had.

 

HAPPY VIEWING
