Monday 6th March
Another windy morning. The water was a little choppy, so the morning swim was cancelled. After breakfast Andrew and B went ashore to do more exploring. They found a couple of trees to climb. One of which was growing out the side of a cliff. There were great views from the top of the hills.
Back on Imagine B did some more cleaning while Andrew and Sue dismantled the old sump pump, found the problem and fixed it with packing washers. Now the pump is back in place and working we can wash our hands and brush our teeth.
B and Sue were working on their tan lines, when a boat pulled alongside calling “ahoy”. Andrew came rushing from below to see what it was. The people on the boat called out “We are from the census department, delivering the forms.” Two seconds later one of them called out “We aren’t looking”, we can’t see anything” as their boat came right alongside and one of them passed the forms to Andrew in a fish landing net. That must have made their afternoon.
Not long after that we decided to move closer to Paihia, as we are going there tomorrow.
