Good to see lots of activity on the water no doubt fuelled by a good forecast. What are people doing? Fogg is going….. nowhere ☹️

We are doing the same, as sold our boat a few weeks ago. Not yet found a replacement.

Not sure if I should disclose this as it has a lot bigger engine to what I am accustomed to. Moving to the dark side.

Did you say something stupid to your Wa again Mr Fogg? I saw floating Fogg again last week, looking very pretty she is. Hard yakka keeping that dark colour looking good but when it is it can be quite stunning. I was set for the CC but word in on Wednesday is my tractor is finally arriving Tuesday so a wee clean up is needed so she can get into her new home. Also picking up another 2.3t of micro beefs tomorrow, 17 little once were boys. This farming thing is very reactionary and some timings are a lot more important than we quite realised.

I did wonder if you were doing the CC or something different, DP.
Looks like the something different was a great change!

Went to Tiri for 2 days and a night with the family. Kids swam with an eagle ray, D1 tried diving with a weight belt for the first time, I shot my first legit snapper. Hunted a Tuatara, still haven't seen a kiwi (3rd Tuatara hunt in a row, which started as kiwi hunting). Saw multiple penguins, including up the hill in the dark on the Tuatara hunt, singing in the water at sunset, several fluffy as chicks in nesting boxes, and of course a few swimming in the sea. Short finned eel & Kokopu.
Surprisingly busy today on Hobbs Beach, but it was minta weather, so not surprising. We all went for a swim off the boat, sans-wetsuits. Just a tad on the refreshing side, still wettie weather by all accounts. Water temp was between 15.9 and 16.4 most of the time.
Kids learning to drive the outboard, lots of zigs and zags. Got to look inside the old watch tower. Lots of cool old shit. Looked through the windows multiple times before, so it was fun to get inside it.
Walked to the lighthouse, saw lots of birds. Successful first overnight of the season. Very happy.
PS Fogg, you shouldn't be skate-boarding at your age, it is un-becoming.
