Anchored in the bay of Whangaroa pronounced
Fangaroa. We decided to travel up north to see some of the sites up here
before heading back down and preparing for our haul-out in Opua. The boat
is in need of some work and we are going to give her a long week of repairs and
paint after so many thousands of miles. The country side is very nice here
but maybe not as impressive to Lauren and I because we are from the Northwest
and it is so similar to the landscape here. It is strange to see pine
trees mixed in with palm trees however and the people here are quite
different. The cool temperatures are a change for us as we have not
experienced anything like this since the early spring of 2008 but summer is on
the way so we will be blessed with another warm season soon. Thanksgiving
for us will be shared with some our cruiser friends at the house of a New
Zealand couple that did the Pacific crossing with us. We will attempt to
bring this Holiday to NZ with Turkey and the works. We will be sharing
this with our friends from Carinthia and Follow You Follow Me, as well as our
hosts Kaumoana. We know that we have been dropping the ball as far as
pictures go but when we have good internet we will post pictures from Tonga and
New Zealand. So have a good Thanksgiving and our Love goes out to our
Families and friends.
