Some pictures!

Leaving Bayswater at 6am - the photo is not very clear as I didn't change the setting to night.



This is an early morning photo. There is frost on the pier - something we had hoped not to see this year. The catamaran in the background is an old buddy.




Some friendly neighbours!

On our way

Arrived in Whangarei on 29 June 2008. We are now into our final preparations for the trip to Fiji. There are still lots of things on the list to be done. Both parents are flat out. Everything is so much easier to get to in a smaller city. Hamish has settled into cruising life very easily – straight into the dingy and rowing off to investigate the town basin. Both children quickly made friends with others nearby and spend most of the fine days feeding sprats and ducks in the river, having rides in the plastic carts and the occasional trip down river in a rubber dingy with a 25 horse outboard. School has started as the correspondence packs have arrived. So far so good. I'll put some photos on when I remember to take some!
