Still in Whangarei, New Zealand :-)

Saturday, 21 March 2009

Things are all OK here, it's just that we are working as long as there is daylight and for seven days a week.  No time for long eMails or a lot of socializing.  Radio-eMail is working fine now, the work with epoxy is all finished, the motor mounts have been fixed, the steering got a complete overhaul, the saildrives are full of gear oil once more, the wind-generator got new bearings and at the moment we are overhauling the Profurl roller furling, our water-tank and a few other bits and pieces.  Schelmi & Isabelle of the beautiful Wharram Tiki 46 WAKATAITEA are leaving in the next few days, Roy of SEA LOONE has said his good-byes, Edmund of FELICITAS (He helped me an amazing amount - thank you, Edmund!!!) is getting ready and Winfried & Ute of ANNA MARIA will fly for a visit to Germany.  We are mulling our options.  Our visas run out in the middle of winter (17 July) and we are unsure whether we should aim for Madagascar or Asia next.  Asia is better for repairs, but we are pretty sure that we would get stuck there for a very long time.  And we'd rather see some new places and meet some new people.  :-)   Except for the eternal repairs, there is not much new to report from here.
