Zozza 293 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Lets hope its a long, hot one. For me, its a launch late November after a two year rebuild, then out into the Waitemata and Gulf whenever I can as I slowly get in sync with my new-to-me old boat. What about you...

Dtwo 157 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thinking about Marlborough Sounds for a couple of months. Not a sailing destination but gives us a good trip to and from Northland/Auckland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Eating cake now D49 Marsden Cove Marina after discovering one should not put fancy antifoul coatings on tranducer. A friend loves diving (and a hooch with coke) so expecting a clean transducer...its a learning curve! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigal.nz 59 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I have never been to the Mercs so want to take kids there. Peach grove looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I have never been to the Mercs so want to take kids there. Peach grove looks good. It is. The whole island is magic and Whitianga only 14 miles away if you need anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 242 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Been spending a bit of time down the bottom end lately during the week. Beautiful down there this time of year as vertually nobody around. Only 1 or 2 boats everywhere you go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zozza 293 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Great to hear she is about to get wet... she is a very cool wee ship. Look forward to seeing some pics if you can be bothered. I’m really not sure where I will get to this summer but I definitely plan to get a few coast miles under my belt. I will stop and say hi if I see a junk rigged Contessa on my travels Mad frantic last few days, but yep, set to get wet end of month. I'm sure your state of the art Raven will have a fridge to keep the amber fluids cold, so yep, row over with a sixer and all will be well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
