Thursday 5th January
\nPauline left us on the 1st heading back to life on land. She intends coming out with us again later.
\nWe immediately set sail back to Kauwau Island and Copper Mine Bay. The winds and sea were already rising and we needed shelter. For the past four days a storm has been lashing the coast of NZ. The winds have been reaching 50kts (100km) and 3m waves, but will start to die down tomorrow.
\nWhere we are anchored is nicely sheltered from all of that, but we are up against the cliffs which block our phone and internet reception. This has made it hard to let everyone know we are not battling the winds. We decided to stay here and have seen several of the boats that left to go to Bon Accord Harbour come back the same or next day. Whilst we can swim, it’s pretty cold when you get out because of the wind. So, we’ve played a lot of cards, read and watched some movies.
