Safely docked at the Gisborne Inner Harbour Marina

The Schooner Maggie B is safely docked at the Gisborne Inner Harbour Marina at 38° 40.2 S 178° 01.7 E. We were a bit delayed in entering by a huge grain carrier that required us to standby outside. Once inside (after dark but full moon) the chicane to find the inner harbour was less than obvious. We’ve gotta stop arriving in strange harbours at night, especially as the wind starts up. We are snugly tied up and ready for the blow, which is just starting as the barometer falls rapidly. Hannah is ashore checking out the showers and Owen and Frank are sampling South Island wines (thank goodness that the sommelier remembered to chill them!). Theresa is helping to finish off our Tassie Beers.

All is well.
