> Life is very good up here in the north. We are moored at Waiheke Island on our way to Whangarei to haul out and start our CAT 1 process (certification to be able to leave NZ shores). I have temporarily abandoned trying to catch the blog up. Auckland was a huge whirl of social occasions, navigating the busy roads after not driving for two months, and major shopping excursions.
> Three days turned into two weeks then we slipped our lines and first stop Waiheke. Spectacular island hospitality yet again. With first breeze sailed up here (very few breezes here this summer, makes for many worry free nights on anchor.) May, when we plan to head north to Fiji, is coming around fast.
> Keep up the emails to janet.nixon551@gmail.com, the connection with home is very important to us.
