staying in NZ till april of 2011
Dietmar Petutschnig06/15/2010, Whangarei NZ
I'm giving up - after trying to get to Fiji for over 50 days - we have decided to stay a season in NZ - the effort and energy wasted to get there to only turn around in November is getting to us plus the thought of quarantine of Vienna all over again in November and my involvement with ISD a stainless steel company based in Whangarei - aided in the overall decision.

Hmmm.... I was just on a boat in the Sea of Cortez that had two diesel heaters they no longer use as they don't plan to sail back to Seattle. I wonder if shipping would be cost prohibitive. We wish you the best with the new bussiness venture.

Reviews look quite good--no personal experience. I miss you guys--hope you're enjoying NZ even if you're staying longer than planned. The Fjordland is the beautiful place I ever saw. Will ask the guy I crew for if he knows anything about diesel heaters--he's pretty knowledgeable, though, as you know, in this area, not too much need for heat. 07/11/2010 | Giselle (monkeyfeet10 att mac dott com)
Hi Dietmar and Suzanne
Sorry to hear you guys never made it out of here!!! Hope to run into you sometime you know where we are. Guess we will be departing the same time next year!! Giselle, Kasey and Crew on Monkey Feet 08/01/2010 | Kathy & Allen Simis (allensimis att hotmail dott com)
Hello Suzanne and Dietmar,
This is Kathy, Allen, and crew from SV Love Song. (we sent this to your sailmail and now the blog, our sailmail is WDA4372@sailmail.com or allensimis@hotmail.com) We heard you are still in NZ on account that you probably love it there and that you got Vienna cleared into the place legally. We just arrived in Fiji a couple weeks ago from the RMI and had a horrible trip down, and we're not sure what our next plans are (we were planning on going to Vanatu, PNG, and Indonesia but 4K in the next 4 months isn't all that appealing)so we were thinking about NZ. In reading the regs for importing dogs on yachts, it appears we have several choices, however, since our dogs are not chipped, it changes everything. Would you know the name of one of the vets or someone I could email about getting the dogs chipped there, and do you know the fees for the quarantine in the MAF approved facilities? I see there are a few choices (we'd be coming to Auckland)and they won't quote It was just a matter of time ...
