Not much to do

Imagine is being advertised for sale on a few website, with only a few questions being asked. Nothing positive.

I have to stay around Auckland incase someone wants to have a look at the boat. This doesn’t stop me taking friends out sailing for a few days at a time. Sheryl has come out with me for a few days. We headed off to Otarawao Bay, where we spent last night. Now we are at Mansion House Bay Kawau. We have gone ashore to go explore the old Copper Mine.

All good things come to an end

It has taken several weeks of deliberation to come to the decision that its time to sell Imagine.
Sailing the Pacific is getting harder as we get older. It’s time to give it up before I have a major injury and can’t do anything. Although the thought had been to give up blue water sailing and stick to sailing the eastern coast of Australia. I think it’s a good time to give up the sea and explore Australia by land.
I will finish off the planned maintenance and then put her up for sail. It has been great fun while it lasted, but it’s now time for a new adventure.
Thank you all for your support and reading about our travels. There may be a new blog about my 4×4 exploration of Australia.
