More work on the boat, a project that had been on my mind for a while was to be able to extend the starboard bunk to a double. Almost finished – just need to get the infill cushion covered.

Meanwhile I have also been getting out and about a bit. A visit to the Quarry gardens by bike, a walk in the Coronation scenic reserve and a visit to the Tutukaka coast for a walk and a couple of swims.
