We
See Our First Junior Haka and Beez Neez Looking Mighty Fine
 Wednesday the
26th of November. Bear finished one of his
jobs and came in for lunch looking less dirty and black than the other day. I’d
like to bimble around the Warehouse. No sooner the mention than we rang Rod and
Mary for the OK to borrow Mrs Puki. Off we went to Kerikeri and how marvellous
it was to mooch around Bear’s favourite shop. That done we filled Mrs P with
groceries and made our way to the Opua Yacht Club. The local school was putting
on an official Welcome Haka. Yes, most people think
of the All Blacks all macho and pouty but there are in fact different sorts of
this piece of culture.
  We arrived too late last year so it
was wonderful to watch the children from the school up the
hill. Boats are arriving in and it seems odd to see
the same faces as last year having come back from Tonga or Fiji. Although when
asked we can say that we haven’t “just stayed here???” UK visit, touring in
Mabel and three weeks in Australia have padded the gap but some serious jobs
have got to be ticked off our individual lists before the girl is really ready
to set off once more.
   Thursday the
27th. Bear worked hard all day and what a treat to go down and look at the girl.
I had to close my eyes walking through the cockpit but as pupa – dads dad, would
say “looks alright from the road”. Well the Beez
certainly looks more than alright from the road. Even Mrs Puki was seen nodding
with approval.
 From a
distance she looks as good as new.
 Beez Neez looking
pretty seaworthy.
ALL IN ALL ANOTHER STEP
FORWARD
COMING TOGETHER
BEAUTIFULLY |
