We're off to see the the Wizard...........
03 May 2017 | Bay of Islands Marina, Opua
Well, not really but we are off to Oz,as in Australia, first thing tomorrow morning, so I'm posting this now as I'll be too busy in the morning doing nautical sailor stuff!
Confidence is ready to go, all the checks done and she's full to the gunwales with fuel, water, mince and stovies! Laughing Kitbags indeed!
There are loads of yachts gathered here for a rally to the islands, but at the moment they're kind of stuck, all glued to the weather websites, watching Cyclone Donna (Patsy, they named a cyclone after you!) its barreling down on Vanuatu at the moment and cyclone season is supposedly over, still, as long as she doesn't bloody barrel down on me, Jeez, thinking about it makes my stomach feel funny, I wonder if I ate something dodgy at lunch? No, wait a minute, I know what it is, I may be shitting myself a bit!! Pppppphhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrppppppppp!!!!!
Ha! Nah, not at all, I believe that I might be able to post during the passage with my magic satellite box, So if I can, I shall, but if the techno gods are not kind to me you'll hear from me when I get there.........
Cheerio the noo.................
Oh, and it's my Brother Andy's Birthday today, Happy Birthday mate, what age will you be this time next year........ha ha, bloody hell! Have half a lager shandy on me............
