Sunday 15^th August

Since my last post I have been back to Mckay, my telephone wasn’t working properly, couldn’t get a signal unless I was right under the tower. That was on Friday, went into Mckay to do some shopping and buy a new telephone that afternoon by bus, then stayed in marina overnight and left at lunch time on Saturday. I had met a few people in Mckay and they were also leaving yesterday, but were going to Newry Island, which though a bit further than Brampton, was a much better anchorage. And so it has proved to be, the sea here is like glass and I had a very comfortable night.

Doing some cleaning up today, glorious day and I’ll stay here til Tuesday or Wednesday

Couple of photos take in Mckay marina, Paragon and a little boat that father and son have sailed out here from California, via New Zealand. They are continuing on there way across the Indian, Mediterranean and Atlantic back to California.
