What I've been Doing


The boat has had to take a backseat for quite a few weeks, as I've been rebuilding my daughters and son in laws, very old cottage in wellington.
Old is a bit of an understatement, it was almost terminal, everything had to be done, new walls electrics, plumbing and on and on.
The electrics and plumbing, will be at the first fix stage by the end of next week, well that's the plan.
The boat is supposed to be in the water by now...

What a Week!

It started with some Irish friends coming for a visit, they had been staying in Lyttelton (the epicentre of the big NZ earthquake) unfortunately they were delayed in Wellington for a couple of days due to David ending up in Wgtn hospital, very fortunately as it turned out.

They missed being in the middle of NZ"s biggest disaster by 2 hours.

When I phoned to find out how they were, David was being given a speeding ticket halfway on the way back to Christchurch.
You could say 'just the luck of the Irish!'
