Rest day

Safely tied up now but the wind gusts are so strong we can feel Mimu heeling.




A happy Commodore and very tired Skipper

Those night watches and rough seas really catch up






Out with the old crew and in with the new.  Absolutely fantastic having Don and Alan on board, will miss them greatly but looking forward to Alan rejoining us in Wellington for the leg up to Napier.



New crew Alison and Tony and happy birthday celebration for Tony







A bit of exercise and great views from the Harbour View Walk







And who should we bump into ... Margaret and Tim from Taupo

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!!
