Calm before the storm

Saturday 11th February
Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. We did a little work around the boat, several swims, sunbathing and another trip ashore to get an ice cream (Sue came with us this time so she got one too!)
It was overcast today. The wind is increasing, blowing up to 43kts (about 80km per hour). In the Bay here we are recording 6.3kts, but can see how rough the sea is around us. That meant more work, more swims and playing cards. We were surprised to see the start of a yacht race from Kawau to Auckland. They started just outside our bay. We are glad we are, so far, sheltered from most of the weather.
Tonight was B’s initiation. She had to eat the Imagine Boat Burger. She passed, being able to eat it all and kept most of it inside the burger!
