Easter Sunday, bunny has arrived!!
 
Received Easter messages from all the girls.
Sunny day spent relaxing and boat watching.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Easter Monday
 
Decided after a late breakfast to up anchor and move on around the bend into Nidri Bay.
 
Nidri Bay is a great safe  anchorage if you need to do any boat jobs.We needed to contact Phil the 'steelman', regarding our Harken block as all we needed was a new spool and all the Harken retailers would only provided the complete block which would take at least a month to reach us as it was quite specialised stock!

Phil informed us that he could make a new spool and that the material that he would be using was much stronger than that used by Harken and that he would have it ready in a couple of days!!!
