Year 13 student Ben Piggott (right side of the photo below, standing with his leg on the seat) spent last Friday in Auckland with the Sir Peter Blake Trust in preparation for the upcoming Young Blake Expedition to the Southern Ocean and Sub-Antarctic.  The meeting was to meet the other student voyagers, talk about life on board HMNZS Otago and what they'll be doing in the "lost islands".  Only 10 weeks until departure for an incredible and unique experience for Ben.
