Never Monday up on the hard. We were painting the bottom this day. |
I'm redoing the lettering after 10 years. |

Diana is happy as she knows that we are finally getting closer to being back in the water! |
Moving Day! This lift will take us to the area where the travel lift will put us back in the water. It's been 2 and a half years since she was in salt water. |

Back in the water at last... |
The Auckland, New Zealand skyline. The Skytower, the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. I hope to bungee jump off of this before we leave! |

In the slip at last. Still lots of work to be done on her but at least we're not climbing that 20' ladder all of the time! |
Views from the cockpit. |

We finally get a look into our life raft. It's a $3000 bit of equipment you hope you never have to use. |
As you can see, there isn't much in the way of supplies. A flashlight, basic medical kit, fishing supplies, signaling devices and of course 2 liters of water for each of us. |

NZ cellular towers, note how low to the ground they are... |
Views of the complex at the marina. This is where we stayed when we first arrived and the boat wasn't quite livable just yet. |
