The maintenance continues but we’re getting closer to being back in the water.
Cleaning and repainting the engine room and replacing various engine components while the motor and gearbox are out also adds to time taken but well worth it.
Talking to a friend who out around Steeles Reef off Waihi Beach last weekend where they had a humpback whale cruising the area, slapping his tail and generally bopping around.
There seems to have been a few more sightings than normal this year.
The fishings been slow, and water temperature’s been down too, likely all interrelated. Colder temps change the current flows and create different conditions and we get the usual variations from season to season.
Thanks Brett for taking us out yesterday, most had a great day especially Peter who caught the big king fish.

Hi Daphne
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks to Brett for the great day yesterday. Boys had a heap of fun, especially once over the touch of motion sickness, and were very thrilled to catch some fish. They are in the fridge for a feast tonight!
Hope to get back before too long and do it all again.
Kind Regards
Jo Davis
