Friday 3rd February
After another calm night the day started off with rain so B and Sue did a little laundry then we all had showers in the rain.
We introduced B to “pass the pigs” and she promptly won the first game after the referee confirmed Sue’s pigs were touching (although Sue wasn’t convinced even after the torch and camera came out)! Sue won the second “revenge” game.
When it stopped raining B stripped the winch for the main, cleaned and greased it before reassembling it.
After lunch we hauled anchor and headed back to Tindalls Bay. On arrival we went ashore and picked up our new Skylink Sattelite unit and installed it. We now should have good internet coverage around NZ.
We have to find a permanent place to mount the antenna. Until then we will just put it on the back deck.

Thanks Ash for the compliment, just learning a lot from Andrew and Sue!
They are the great sailors!
More fun to come …B.
It sounds like B is a great sailor! Great news about the internet. Loving the updates 🐷
