Thursday 24th November
We fixed the vang then went ashore to explore. While walking past the old homestead we saw someone painting the window frames. Aaron and Susan were doing maintenance on the homestead that had been closed all through Covid. Maybe it will reopen this summer as the island’s information centre and selling ice creams and coffees.
They live on their boat anchored in another bay while working on the homestead. We had seen their boat (Wind Shift) a few weeks ago at Motuihe.
With high winds and rain the last two days we have stayed here with reasonable shelter. This meant movies, books, massages and lots of card games.

Your last post showed how fickle the sea can be! well done on securing the vessel – just shows you how much of a jack of all trades you need to be in sailing! :-). Stay safe in the current weather, and we look forward to coming aboard soon!
