We were ready … we went ashore to get the last few things from the shops and thought we would have a good weather window to leave Auckland on Tuesday (tomorrow) to head to French Polynesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We passed our CAT1 safety certification, which we had to have before going offshore. As Connie and Pauline had never inflated a lifejacket, we had them jump overboard in keeping with our safety training. Once they inflated their jackets, we had them swim the length of Imagine with the other pretending to be injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darren and Chrissy invited us all to a ” Bon Voyage” dinner on what was supposed to be our second to last night in NZ. Roger and Rawyn were also invited which give us opportunity to say thank you again to everybody who helped us with the refit of Imagine. A particular big Thank You to Darren and Chrissy for their hospitality and support during the last 6 months. We couldn’t make it without you! Not to mention that our Dad was there too. Thanks to Darren for the 2-hour drive to pick him up. That was very thoughtful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything seemed to be perfect, except that while checking the weather on Monday morning it was a different story: a big low came on the screen and made us think that it would be wiser to change our plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to report our departure to French Polynesia later this week. Stand by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
