One tropical low passed close to us just after Easter and another is close today but not causing too much disturbance . At anchor of  Russell , Bay of Islands . Here for a couple of days since the winds are strong north easterlies . Cals down mid week . All well . weather starting to cool down and fairly chilly at night . They still sell proper digestive biscuits in the shop here.
