Back in the Water – February 1, 2010
G’Day. Shellette is back in the water as of Thursday afternoon. We toasted with Champagne as we worked very hard for three weeks. Shellette is happy to be back in the water and so are we. She is maintained, repaired and cleaned! I cannot express to you the amount of work we did…..too much. We were all very tired and overworked, mentally and physically so very ready to claw each other’s eyes out by the end of three weeks. Mike and I stayed in a nearby hotel room at night while Gary chose to stay on the boat, on the hard.
We’ve had some time to get a little rest these last few days. Gary is off with the rental car and camping and Mike and I are enjoying being on the boat alone for a few days.
Our plan is to head to The Great Barrier Island later this week and continue to head to the South Island from there. We will do some land tours down there as sailing tends to be too rough in the South. So much to see so we can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned. Life is Good.
