Another day in paradise

Not much to report. We snorkeled and had a great time on the reef, everyone else golfed!!! And I tried to make sense of the differing opinions of how to time the trip to New Zealand. Interesting yachties here (that;s what we are called here); Each said the wind was blowing at only 15-18 knots while we spoke, but I was holding on to my hat , glasses and a post to keep upright. Go to a land based marina later this morning where Babelfish will rest for about 3 weeks
