Christmas dinner was more mussels - New Year, friends on board then fire works in the bay.

Jobs done so far

Got Mr. Parson (Dingy out board motor running)

New fresh water pump in the heads (bathroom).

New sea water pump and line to the galley.

New engine starter battery.

Bought a bargain 17 foot day sailing boat (sleeps two), with 2 meter dingy (and oars) and 15Hp outboard motor. All for the price ...

I think I've bumped into more friends in New Zealand in the street in the last month than I did in Kingston, UK during the last year even though I lived there 16 years!

It’s good to be back at the sea.  Today I picked enough mussels to cover the floor of the dingy.  Tomorrow I'll clean them of barnacles then pop them into clean water with oats (the oats will flush them out and make them delicious) then three friends...
