Prepping for crew changeover

 


Al submits to performance enhancements!

As suggested by Don!!

Bro Alan has been a very naughty boy says Raewyn!

Me - I was just innocently handing him a wooden spoon to help leverage a drawer closed!







Our route Mangonui to Picton.







Go on Don ... we all know you want a teddy bear!

    To all those hardy soles upon the good ship Mimu.
    Bother AL and I made it home safe and tired after a successful Roady
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to partake in such a wonderful adventure. I had a blast and cant wait till the "next time"
    Bruce you are an awesome skipper. Skillful,carefully considered and entertaining to boot. Raewyn you are just magic at making sure we are all fed watered and cared for. Keep up the night time lullabies. Thank you to both of you for sharing your beautiful Mimu with us all. She is a very comfortable and safe ship
    To first mate Jean it is great to share your passion and excellent sea-womanship. Keep writing and don't give up the dream!
    To Alison and Tony I am sure you will more than adequately replace us two deserters although the bullshit and decibel level maybe somewhat lower! Perhaps time to learn the ukulele? In the meantime rest assured that I am finding your couch very comfy although reaching for the remote can be quite a work out!
    I will watch you progress with vicarious pleasure.
    Safe journey

    Luv Don D'Rio

      Thank you for your very kind words Don D'Rio - was so good to have you on board. Your presence gave me confidence as we went through those big storms - you were so cool. Loved the singing, such a happy boat. Miss you heaps! xx

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!!
