• Helen continued cleaning and sorting, now a full campaign.\u00a0 Retired at end of day with a back ache.<\/li>\n
• I visited customs\/immigration at Marsden Point to obtain knowledge regarding reentry later this year.<\/li>\n
• More wine supplies and samples acquired.<\/li>\n
• Bolts for dinghy wheels purchased.<\/li>\n
• TV antenna purchased so we can watch the news (has wrong plug so this will wait)<\/li>\n
• Bought new horseshoe float as old one has collapsed after 3-4 years in the sun.<\/li>\n
• Finished of US tax submission and sent off.<\/li>\n
• Did a little prep on UK tax submission.<\/li>\n
• Visited yard where we’ll haul out to discuss additional work<\/li>\n
• Returned hard drive to Sea Mist<\/li>\n
• Ran into Inge (Boree) and Kathy (Attitude) in supermarket.<\/li>\n
• Inquired into dive regulator servicing.<\/li>\n
• Started organizing Mongolian BBQ for Saturday evening for local cruisers we know (14 so far)<\/li>\n
• Backed up my laptop and reinstalled operating system so that I can eventually get my compiler working.<\/li>\n
• Enjoyed our sample Pinot Noir – today’s supermarket raid now defined.<\/li>\n
• Watched and enjoyed Social Network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  This morning it carries on.\u00a0 I’ve removed the helm seat as the upholster is coming round to pick it up for softening and recovering.\u00a0 Managed to make a couple more hours of water before supply weakened.\u00a0 I’ve also had to chase our second package which has yet to leave customs.\u00a0 I’ve already received an apology from them and confirmation it’s now released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
