[status] Experienced New Zealand's worst storm in fifty years on Thursday
night with a record of 80 knot winds through our marina. Marina suffered a
bit of damage and lots of work coming up for the canvas makers, luckily our
homemade cockpit sides somehow survived. Diesel heater was a life saver
with the power out to our pontoon for two days.

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
