Tuesday 7th February
Plans change so fast when living on a boat. Yesterday we headed to Tindalls Bay to pick up more provisions (more wine) before heading to the Bay of Islands. This morning we borrowed a car and did the shopping. Then set sail for Kawau Island, to spend the night before setting off to BOI.
Because of the wind we anchored off the mainland at Scandretts bay. We were going to head off tomorrow for the BOI and be there before high winds reach the area.
Now it’s being predicted there is a cyclone heading towards us and will hit NZ. Because of the uncertainty of the path and severity of this cyclone, we have decided to stay around Kawau until the end of next week when it has passed. We just have to make sure we are in a secure and sheltered bay by Saturday.

Omg! I’ll be watching the news and hoping for the best! Take care.
