It is raining and raining and the lows keep coming across the Tasman Sea. So here we sit and wait for a weather window which now does not promise to show up until next Tuesday. We killed off 2 days in Auckland and had a nice time there, but time is money spent and right now for us the cheapest place is out at sea. The dock is booked for us here until May 9th, hopefully we will not have to use all that time. In the mean time the cruising community is gathering in mass all watching the weather charts and hoping for unexpected changes for the good. Events are scheduled to keep the yachties out of trouble. Tonight is darts, market day on Friday, and yoga on Thursday. A hike to the neighboring town of Pahia is also a possibility. Stay tuned for our departure date and time....
