In response to my query, Linda has just e-mailed an update:
• Back into the water tomorrow morning. (Tuesday afternoon, our time. I think.)
• More work, while moored between pilings @ Town Basin Marina, in the Hātea River, Whangarei, NZ. [Wikipedia article]
• Thursday: By car, retrieve the last of personal effects left in Watawhiwhi.
• Sell car back in Whangarei.
• Shakedown to Opua, NZ [35°18'46.85"S 174° 6'45.75"E].
• If everything works, sail for Tonga as weather permits.
She says that they have been working hard, and are ready to relax with a "nice tropical winter".
I have asked to be advised when they sail for Tonga.
