We have now spent another three days on this wonderful island, and we are more in love than ever. We have used the charismatic ‘Percy Island Yacht Club’ a great deal. For a great lunch spot, a rest from the sun with a good book, a base to return to after a nice swim in the water. Gazing through all the creative signs gives you a nice picture of the great sanctuary Percy Island have become, with some of the old boat signs dating all the way back to 1955!
Now there is a new sign “Imagine NZ 2020”. Designed by Nivi and carved by Andrew.
On Thursday we had another nice barbecue with the other boats. Again some great stories where told over delicious food and good wine.
Thursday and Friday Guido and Nivi went on boat viewings on the other yachts in the bay, seeing a lot of great, different boats, hearing a lot of different experiences and opinions, all the time (hopefully) collecting a little more knowledge about the amazing adventure sailing is.
We have been going for nice walks, plenty of swims, and last but not least just a great big lot of chilling.
To get internet we had to walk up the hill and sit on the edge of the cliff which is the internet cafe! Not many cafes have such a view.
Now we will eat Andrews homemade thai chicken curry (it smells YUMMY), do a bit more of chilling and mentally prepare for the next night sail we set out on tomorrow. Hopefully we will find Great Keppel as mesmerizing, as we did with Middle Percy Island! Only time will tell..
