Good Friday frivolity

 We let our hair down (literally) last night with song and dance, great food and awesome company, tucked nicely away in a sheltered bay D'Urville Island. This morning we were anchors away at 7.30am heading to Picton for a crew changeover. Firstly we scoured the harbour as one stern cushion went flying overboard during the blustery night.  Unfortunately couldn't locate it.



Red wine tastes better when filtered through a COVID mask.










If you can't solve the problem, it's time to stop drinking!












We mermaids have the crew well under control.










Mermaids at 2 o'clock.










Crossing through the Stevens Passage - wind against tide, whipping up a frenzy.

Skipper fighting to hang on at the wheel.






Every man needs one of these!

Go Alan!!







ETA 5pm Picton - bubbles are chilling. 2 weeks into our Mimu adventure and we are all as happy as!

    Tell those salty seadogs to keep their hands off the mermaids! In all seriousness, I love the pictures you're posting. A great mix of exciting and silly!

Exploring Paterson Inlet

Image
 Paterson Inlet - a massive harbour of calm, sheltered waters.  Picturesque little islands with names such as Refuge Island, Crayfish, Bravo, Groper ... the boys caught 3 blue cod and hooked a 1.5m to 2m shark!!  Passed the remnants of a whaling station, bush right to the water's edge, chorus of bird song, the odd bach peeking through native bush, seals sunbathing on the beach, penguins and shags.  Watermaker at work producing 100 litres of water per hour for our hot showers.  Anchored 5pm at Glory Cove. Another awesome day aboard Mimu. It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey! Guy doing a quick keel haul in 11.7 degree waters Fillets of straight from the ocean blue cod, pan fried with leek and creme fraiche Ahoy me Matey!! Tied up to a wannabe palm tree. Practicing our "stern to" anchoring ready for Fiji (or maybe the  fiords first) This is how the rats get aboard!!
