Whangarei
Whangarei

The next morning exiting Whangarei Harbour wind against the tide gusting 40+…..it didget better around the heads though.

The guys have still got it. Great night with Tin Shed celebrating birthdays, house warming of great friends and all those moments we missed in the lasts few years.

The ultimate procrastinator. Yacht jobs are getting there 👏 . . . . . . #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #liveaboard #liveaboardlifestyle #salona #yachts #sailing #boatjobs

Throwback Thursday, we've been looking back on some vids & pics.

It rained really hard last night, the wind blew and we, nonchalantly, went to shore to catch up with Canadian friends also travelling to New Zealand. When we got back to the boat, soaked, the mooring lines attached to the buoy that we were tied to, had wrapped themselves around our keel and we were side on to the wind and rain. Should we wait it out?.....Ah No, it was way too uncomfortable, not to mention the damaged it could do to the underside of the boat. We finally crawled into bed after midnight, having used the dinghy to release and reattach our lines, now much shorter so the same mistake won’t happen again. This morning we are trying to dry things out….might be a movie watching day.

We finished cleaning the hull today, so sorry Mr Turtle you will have to get your greens somewhere else. Took us a couple of hours but it was nice to be in the water. Puffer fish cleaned up the scrapings. No seals or sharks today. . . . #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #liveaboard #liveaboardlifestyle #salona #Galapagos #yachts #sailing #boatjobs

Plenty of food to go around at the fish market in Santa Cruz, Galapagos

We have been here so long that we are getting a free bottom clean by the locals. We say farewell for now to SV Sirenia lll and will catch up with them in French Polynesia in a month.

Galapagos marine iguana is coming to get me😮 . . . #marine iguana #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #liveaboard #liveaboardlifestyle #salona #Galapagos #yachts #sailing #boatjobs

Baby black fin sharks and sting rays about a meter long swim together underneath the dock while we wait for the water taxi back to White Arrow. . . #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #liveaboard #liveaboardlifestyle #salona #Galapagos #yachts #sailing #boatjobs

Swells and wind pick up as we watch a fishing boat drag it’s anchor at sunset and head for White Arrow. It reset after about 50 meters and after a rocky night, all was good in the morning.
