Boat work in beautiful places


We have had a successful trip up the coast of New Zealand with new winches installed (Erin) engine work (Sean) painting (Erin) engine work (Sean) etc.


Fingers and toes crossed we are nearly ready to head North. Until then we will enjoy the lovely Bay of Islands.

On the move - Whangarei

Just a quick update - Whimsey is now in Whangarei Town Basin. Sean is investigating the engine (what's new) and Erin is trying to keep out of Arthurs Emporium.

Whangarei is a 3 hour motor up the river, even at high tide we had about 2 inches under the keel at times so an interesting trip. It is quite lovely and everything is really handy but all the same we plan to be on the move again by the end of the week.
