Graham Dalton, the New Zealand solo skipper racing his Open 50 A Southern Man AGD in the Velux 5 Oceans has pulled into the port of Bluff, New Zealand, at the southern-most point of the South Island. The experienced sailor suspended sailing at 16:30 GMT on Saturday January 27 as he arrived back on home soil. Dalton was forced to make the unwanted pit stop after he discovered that one of his diesel tanks had leaked after leaving Fremantle and contaminated around one third of his food stores, making the food inedible.
