While we were waiting for weather!

Well, while we were waiting for weather that we liked we continued to work and finish off jobs on the boat, and pick up extra paying work as we were able. Dan was also having trouble with the generator and it got to a point that we couldn't get it started. Long story short, we discovered with some professional help that it wasn't all his fault and some work that had been done prevoiusly on the generator hadn't been completed properly ending in quite a costly repair!! I won't go into all the gory details right now as I need Dan to be able to tell me all the proper terms etc, but we will do a write up at some stage. But to quote Dan he was thankfull that we found this out here in NZ where we could fix the issue, and not in the Islands, where we would have just left it and not bothered, but would have meant the past 18 months working towards getting up and running were wasted. ANYWAY as of Thursday we are all back up and running and looking again to the weather, which we thought would be Monday, but Tuesday is getting winder with each new forecast we see and so we have decided to wait until Wednesday. Dan felt if we had been sailing recently and weren't quite so full of food we probably could leave Monday, but as we are all a bit green at the moment we are waiting. We went to the local market yesterday and have stocked up on approx 15kg of Apples, kiwifruit, feijoas, cabbages, pumpkins....hopefully we will be well enough to eat them!!
