Hey out there. We are nearly on our way. We are no longer living in the marina since the 30th of November and have been out in the Nelson harbour on anchor, or on a mooring along Haven Road. I have finished work and as I write this Dan is finalising the sale of the car.
We have had an awesome couple of months with some fantastic sails. Our house was up to 17 knots!! thanks to a long surf on a wave. High lights would have to have been watching Rylee and Oliver learning to clip on and off the tether straps all around the boat, the pod of dolphins "hunting" in Anchorage, the dolphin that breached 24 times in a row and knowing that I can put in a reef and reduce the sail as the wind is picking up to 35 knots just as we are heading into The Cut. No downers but a couple of big learning curves, like keeping a lookout for the mussel farm in the Tasman Bay and that each of us gets sea sick but in different conditions!!
Anyway am running out of time on the library computer so will (as I always promise to do) will update again soon.
Plan for this week is to head up to Durville Island for a couple of days then across to Golden Bay for a week or so then Dan hopes to be in the Bay of Islands for Christmas and up and down the coast of NI for summer, but plans (and weather) could change all that so will keep you posted.
