The fleet may still be two days away but that didn't stop the celebrations at the Auckland Stopover Race Village.

Surrounding them are some of the fabulous marine creatures from King Neptune's Trail, the parade that will perform daily in the Race Village from Saturday.

Wisdom the Albatross and Harry the Hapuka are holding the ribbon and behind are Amal the Turtle, Pablo the Prawn and Louis le Crab together with sea anemones and other creatures.

Let the party begin!
