    Not much to say really but got to get the footprints going. We were up early but didn't need to as they delayed our sailing by two hours.
    When we set sail, it was a lovely day in Wellington and then out to the strait which was just beautiful with a white cloud base along the tops of the Wellington coastline that at about half way through our sail turned into fog.
    I was sitting inside, too cold outside for me, Robyn came in and said we had sailed into fog and then we heard the foghorn. Surreal.
    Beautiful sail in clear blue skies in the sounds - just what the tourists love to see.
    Disembarked and stopped in town for lunch - a toastie and they were fantastic. Went for a walk around the inner harbour berths - it was sunny and warm, just what you need when on holiday.
    Then it was time to check into our house, which we found without too much trouble - we are in the Waikawa area. Had a short nap.
    Did some grocery shopping, had dinner and now resting.
    Tomorrow we a doing a morning trip out to Motuara Island - a 2025 Christmas present from the Plunkett Family. The forecast is great - looking forward to this. A great place to take a camera I think.
