Citizen Science - Plankton We were sent this link and think it sounds
like a good project for cruisers to assist with. Dr Richard Kirby is a
Plankton Biologist at Plymouth University and Project leader: The
project's aim is to ask sailors to help create the biggest global study
of the marine plankton, starting now and carrying on forever. If you
would like to participate or tell other voyagers in order to help us
raise awareness the information is on the internet. Here are the links:

Touho as our problems in London are not yet resolved - there are worse
places to be procrastinating.
Yesterday we even watched the dugong for around an hour as it surfaced,
then disappeared to feed again with it's mermaid tail fully visible as
it dived just a couple of boat lengths from Roxi - at last a real sighting!

Stopover in Shark Bay, Kawau for night.

Anchored in Waitepipi Bay. Lovely sheltered bay. Took dinghy ride around edge of harbour. Found DOC hut with walkway beside up to Dukes Nose. This is a good walk with stunning views, but, the last part of the walk is hand over hand chains. We didn't do this part up to bluff but the views we had were stunning enough.
