Slept in this morning and tried to work on the Internet but there was no connection. The front came through last night so it is colder and windy. We decided to have lunch at the restaurant. I pulled some material out and started to finish sewing. We went over to view the ocean and the breaker were huge. As the weather had some rain with it we decided to curl up on board and watch some movies or should I say re watch. We have had the same DVD we had when we left and are running out of choices.

After we got up and had breakfast we went down to the poster board to see what the menu was for tonight and what the weather was going to be like. While we were down there we ran into George and Georgina from Agapi and they invited us to sit down and relax on the patio. I cannot believe we started a conversation in the morning and basically sat there the whole day relaxing and chatting. Different boaters came by and so it continued. We went back to the boat in time to dress for dinner. There were 8 of us that gathered for dinner and when it was over we headed back to the boat to watch a movie. Ian went diving for something and Dick asked him to check our zinc on the shaft. It is totally disappeared from electrolysis. Ian offers to put the new one on and some how accomplishes this by just holding his breath. An amazing guy!

Woke up and had breakfast on board. Some of the boats from the anchorage have moved over to the dock. The wind is picking up. It is still sunny and warm so we decide to walk over to the ocean to see the waves and then walk into town. New Plymouth is about 3 miles away. On the way there a woman from the resort comes by with a young boy who she is taking to see the nurse on the island. She offers us a ride and when we return she agrees to pick us up if she sees us. We were very thankful for the lift.
I have some sewing to work on and in the afternoon I lay down for a nap. Dick decided to wash off the waterline. We meet up with some of the boaters on the patio and then went to dinner with the gang from Mystic Moon and Southern Flight.

Hello Ruth and Dick :
We found your "blog spot" and have been reading (and seeing the photos) with great interest (and envy). Looks exactly like you'd expect paradise to be ! I note that you have some meals on board. Where do you get supplies- especially fresh water ? Did you take a lot of cans of things ? As I am sure you have heard, you have missed the snowiest Jan. on record- also it is still quite cold and Wiarton Willie saw his shadow yesterday, so we're in for 6 more weeks of the white stuff, so enjoy your reprieve. Beverley & Alastair
