Swinging Precariously

18 October 2013 | Pier 21, Auckland
Ade
After almost 2 weeks on the hard, we splashed back in the water on Wednesday. We've done some major mods which we are quite happy with (and proud of) the way they turned out, and have done some repairs as well. It's unnerving at the best of times having your boat (and home) seemingly swinging precariously from the travel lift. To top that, we had a few very windy days with reports of 60 knot gusts that moved the boat around in the cradle in a rather disturbing way. Luckily we stayed upright and made it back into the water safe and sound. We really missed the boat and we're very glad to get back home again :)

About: So we're a couple in our 40s and we've decided to abandon a responsible life with careers and stuff, sell the farm and the cars and go sailing instead. Stuff it, I might die before I get to retire so let's have fun now .... there might be time to work later.
Extra: Oh yeah ... we've got 2 dogs as well .... border collies (cute!). That's gonna make life interesting on a boat isn't it? Oh and in case you were wondering, that isn't a photo of either of us in the string vest ... or anyone we know either.
