Hi Folks,
Not much to report, we are relentlessly slogging
away at the flats and should be finished in a few weeks, our Nephew Jack is over
for "labour down under" that sounds painful but he has adapted well for a
teenager, up at 7am work for 9 hrs then back to base for a hot meal and bed,
repeat repeat .... he is about to pick up his first pay packet , oh the joys of
growing up ...... its a long haul to the other end about fifty years on average
I think, some of us escape earlier though.
The last of the boats have finally left the Bay of
Islands, our friends in Rhythm have left at last for Bundaburg in Australia,
that an empty bay until next November when the next fleet arrives from Tonga and
Fiji, we have had mail from some of our friends who have departed, more sandy
beaches, we on the other hand are looking forward to summer and getting back on
the water to cruise around the NZ coast at a leisurely pace.
After the summer up there we will be looking at
moving her closer to home and down to Wellington, we have soughed out a marina
berth for her at Sea View, its based at the mouth of the Hutt river in
Wellington harbour .
We don't know what we are going to do after the
flats so that's all up in the air, meanwhile this week is our road trip to Rota
Vegas, then we will be back for a few days before going skiing up a volcano I
know it sounds a bit bizarre but that's were the resort is on the North
Island,it still active and rumbling away down below, hope I don't get blown off
my skies on the way down, or obliterated in a pyroclasic death wind
..
That's all from Weelywood for now
.....
