• East Coast Passage - Prep day

    February 7, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    We woke up this morning to find the marina had been completely overrun by jellyfish. After being distracted by this phenomena (and pestering a few by tapping on their heads) we headed for the supermarket to prep for our passage up the east coast. Of particular importance is that our caffeine and sugar intake remains high, I'm not sure we've got enough...

    Back on board and Nathan whipped up some coke chicken as an easy snack while on passage, and a batch of his world famous chilli (easy to heat up and store the rest in the freezer).

    An obligatory fruity beer for the afternoon (difficult to keep the can still for the photo in the Wellington wind). We then went out for dinner to celebrate an early Chinese New Year, with Peking Duck and a couple of other dishes.

    A cloud photo and our last Wellington sunset to round out the day. Looking forward to getting moving again and back out into nature for a few days.
