We’ve had enough of waiting for NZ Immigration to get their act together, so we’re off sailing. It’s been a while, so we’ll have to see if we can remember what to do!

This morning, at high tide, we slide out of our berth, backed down the aisle and turned in the river. The bridge lifted and we headed down the harbour to anchor in Parua Bay for the night. I’ve had a swim, checked the hulls and the remarkable amount of rain we’ve had has been good for the hulls. No growth and no barnacles! So tomorrow we’re heading out to sea and the wind looks good for some sailing…
