We first met Rand in Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.  Little did we know back then we would end up in his home town, Whangarei.  He has recently started a great new business selling artisan bread.  It is the best.  We devour it the minute he shows up and then beg for more.  What fun to have a good friend who is a bread man come down to the dock with fresh (and often still warm bread)!  We do our part by pitching how good it is to the other cruisers and I think he’s developing quite a following.  (Now if he’d only sell us his home-brew)

So here’s Rand!
