So the Pacific has a very special place in my heart, but also in the heart of my family as well. And that really strong sense of community and also the wonderful connection to the ocean as well. And I always said that there was nowhere else in the world that I wanted to be raising my children over that period because of those, you know, really strong Pacific values of everyone looking out for everyone else. I’m very passionate about them as well, of course, But the happiest time we had as a family was living in the Pacific. So really this has been the thing that I’ve been most passionate about for most of my life, other than my wife and children.
