Saw Sundreamer anchored up the Hatea river yesterday.

Not so sure, might have to resort to duct tape for that one.

Most we have had for an overnight stay is 12 dancing girls. ( remember the crew.org Xmas parties?)

Hopefully a couple of halyard will hold it up.

Pretty much

I asked Angela if I should get another bottle of rum before departure. She said there was plenty. I wasn't sure so I decided to go through a few lockers and do a Stocktake. 18.

Mid January for us.

Biggest problem at gulf harbour is they wanted to charge for an extra hour in the hoist to do a 2 minute job.

Mine just plugged into the back of the tv. Done. Everything else was programming.

Angela in Stepping Out, 1997, or is that something different? -

Bluetooth to a cylindrical speaker that gets thrown everywhere. Playlist : Cole Porter for me , Haitian bacchata for Angela . What? You've ever heard a Haitian bacchata? https://youtu.be/6twKNHlX7aM?si=kgiROZcLh-MuWHJs

20 mins and an alarm clock. Normally sleep on deck. If I get tired I'll heave to for a few hours.

I might be about to dump some, I need to pull it out and inspect. Whangaparaoa though, you could sail here.

I'm still on my 8 year old coppercoat.

Coca cola, overnight soak. You'll never drink that sh*t again but your tiller will have a shiny new seat.

No, I'm wrong, since then I have done cairns to Brisbane single handed.

I have done plenty, most recently Wellington to Auckland, might have another 1 or 2 left in me.
