Circumnavigating for 15 years

Amanda and Mark Church bought their boat Balvenie (a 47 foot fractional rigged, center cockpit sloop) in New Zealand in 2003 and have sailed over 50,000nm in her to date. Having left NZ in 2004, via Suez to the Med (where they stayed a couple of years), they sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean in 2012. They spent several years Pacific cruising including cyclone season in the Marquesas and completed their circumnavigation, arriving back in NZ in 2018
