Wednesday 1st February
B yesterday flew in from Sydney to join us. Auckland has put on special weather for the occasion. Another big storm, high winds and rain causing road closures and cancelled ferries. B managed to stay dry and eventually made it to Whangaparaoa. The trip to Imagine in the dinghy was not quite as dry.
B didn’t take any convincing to take her pants off before wading into the sea to get in the dinghy. We had only just got in the dinghy when a wave crashed over the bow and B got here first initiation to our boat life.
Once onboard Imagine we dried off, put the wet things in the engine room to dry and showed B around. After dinner we all had an early night. Or went to bed early but with Imagine bouncing around in the storm. We didn’t get a good night’s sleep.
This morning the wind and rain are dying down so we wI’ll head off to Kawau Island for a few days and better shelter.
