It happens all too often. Next time I'm sure you'll think to call the airline as well as the immigration, or just buy a refundable return ticket to avoid the problem. But, hopefully, you'll have some luck and get a refund from the airline. The sad thing is it might have just been an over-zealous ticket agent instead of a real airline policy.

Your problems are very familiar to me as forever things go bad. This week I checked my propulsion battery banks and guess what, 3 of the 12 batteries had bad cells, new batteries have been ordered and will be fitted next week. My 420 is booked for a lift next weekend in Brisbane. The yearly cleaning, anti fouling, anode replacements, polishing and service of water maker are due. I do have a good shipwright and he will spend most of the week to make sure all is under control. Good Luck with your trip and fair weather. John Triple Zero Hi Steve,

There is a shop and bar at Onetangi an open bay exposed to the north. Lots of nice restaurants, cafes and wineries on Waiheke. The tunnels at Stoney Batter are worth a look, take torches.
