Well we did not make Minerva before the weather turned ugly too although we tried so ended up hoving too south of south Minerva. Hopefully not for too long. Both getting some extra sleep.

Another lovely night at sea and North Minerva is getting closer. Thank you Ann for the Brisket it was very good and I ma enjoying the magazines thanks Jenny. All is good on board.

someone has stolen the wind and we would like it back please. Amazing how flat the sea can go though. All is well on board apart for the Kamakazee flying fish who are a bit under the weather.

Another lovely sailing day yesterday,had a number of visits from the mighty Albatrosses. Motor went on in the middle of the night not sure for how long it will stay on.

A lovely 24 hours sailing finished off with a beautiful full moon. Obsession is having a ball and her crew are slowly getting into the groove

We have both learnt to rock and roll again a favourite with Lester, but all is going well and Obsession is happily sailing along.

We are on our way, and all is good.

Just doing a trial to make sure all is working. Sitting in Whangarei waiting to go north to the warmth.

Great overnight sail north. Enjoying being back cruising. Swimming and diving today. I love holidays.

What great weather for Easter. Had a brief visit to Chamberlin bay and now enjoying Bryant bay and catching up with friends. Lots of swimming, chocolate and sleeping.

Loving this great summer weather and being able to get out and play in the Hauraki gulf at the weekends. Long may it last.

Had a lovely Holiday on the water and catching up with friends and family. Now it is back to earning money in the big smoke.

Back at Pier 21 and settling into the routine of work most of the time. Fiji seems a long way a way. I am enjoying a continuous supply of Ice Cream though.

Had a great sail down the coast today. It is lovely to sail in flat water with good wind. Also had a double strike which will feed us for the next couple of days, fresh fish yum.

Great stop at Tutukaka, good to catch up with friends and family. Heading south on a magic northland day

Great to be back cruising in NZ, had our first swim today all be it brief and chilly. A lovely day to be on the water and in Whangamumu.
