The final post - for now

The maiden voyage together with Leonie on my
boat in the Wellington Bayl

As you without doubt would have noticed by now - this blog is now quite inactive.

I should have posted about this earlier.

It was always intended to be a diary of my move to New Zealand.

I've now been here 3.5 months and I'm starting to settle in. I'm fairly active on Facebook, which provided a light-weight version of this blog.

My intention is to start another blog about living in New Zealand. If so, then I make sure I'll announce it here.

Thanks for reading and may you live long and prosper!

Practice driving

The weather wasn't very good today, so I decided to get some oil to loosen up the winch on the boat trailer, as it had prevented me from connecting the trailer to the car earleir on.

It worked like a charm and I decided to kick off part 2 of my boat trailer practice run: reversing!

It wasn't as difficult as I thought and I managed to park the boat quite nicely aftera  few practice runs, albeit very slowly. I then took it to the ramp area where there is a bit more space and practiced some more reversing.

Next session will be launching!
