Just back from Opua. Moved Elyse about 50 metres from F29 to the breakwater...well it was more than that ! I went for a sail to Opunga Cove and back during the day which was very pleasant.
In the meantime, I bought an aluminium stepladder to make it easier to get aboard from the pier. Her topsides are quite high.

And a new air cushion seat for the helm. Much more comfortable than the original vinyl jobs !
The weather was very good while I was there, but it was going to turn bad. The remnants of a tropical cyclone were heading towards New Zealand. This photo of the halo around the sun in the late morning of the day I left is a good indicator of bad stuff coming.
