Arrived in Bay of Islands in time for lunch after motoring into the wind
all day (again). We are here at last! Will try again with right GPS info!

title: Fixed the navigation lights
There were no more excuses, we had arrived in the Bay of Islands with time
to spare. Now was the time to attack the navigation lights. We crawled on
our hands and knees, pulling and pushing wires that were bundled up in the
bilges, tracing which wire was what. Eventually we found the problem.
Somewhere under the motor, the wire to the nav lights had been cut -
recently. Why, we don;t know. Next came the challenge of drawing new wire
through to connect everything up again. With perseverance and great team
work we got it sorted. All working now. By the time we put the boat back
together again (3 hours after we started) it was time for a well-deserved
gin! In peaceful Paroa Bay for the night, will head over the Opua to join
the rest of the fleet tomorrow. Happy Easter![END]
