By the way, it seems that it was planned to arrive at Auckland before Christmas in the initial plan, but it seems that we changed to arrive place to New Plymouth due to the influence of strong wind etc. It was said that the voyage was longer than the schedule, and food was on the bottom when arriving. They were inspected at a hospital after a welcome ceremony at New Plymouth, but there seemed to be no problem with physical condition although there were some scars on the body.
