Sailing the Bay of Islands

Hello All,
Yesterday I got invited to go out sailing on a Beneteau 42 foot. Brad is from Australia and bought the boat here a few months ago. He has been getting it ready to go up to Tonga for the sailing season. Michelle and Bernie on Mo Mo invited him out to one of the anchorages for the evening. Michelle is our common friend from the marine store and that's where I met Brad. We headed out yesterday afternoon and got to the anchorage right before dark. They invited us over for dinner and had a great visit. They had some local friends that were with them on there own boat so it was a good time had by all.
It was really fun to have some modern gadgets to play with on Brads boat.
This morning Brad made breakfast and invited over Michelle and Bernie. We got to solve the worlds problems all over again.
We left right after that and sailed back to Opua. Brad is really excited to set sail and has some friends showing up in a few weeks to help him on the boat. It makes me want to get out there again on Freestyle. I will see what Alex is doing and see if we can go out again , on my boat this time.
Thats all for now so I will talk to you soon.


PEACE
