Not much else is happening here other than the fact that WINZ has finally agreed that living on a boat an renting a marina berth is just like living in a house or apartment and we are allowed an accommodation supplement, not much but every little bit helps.

We did go the boat show here on Thursday, more to meet up with friends than for any other reason.  Paul and Gina had flown up from Christchurch, the couple who graciously lent us their spare antenna tuner in the Marquesas last year.  Paul had a tough time health wise but is fully recovered and looks great.  They are flying back to French Polynesia in May to resume their cruise.  We also ran into Sally and Geoff from Grace.  The 4 us had a great lunch.  We will make every effort to catch up with everyone before they all take off for the islands in a few months.
