Final update on Cyclone Vaianu tonight in Whangarei, New Zealand. We have thankfully been pretty well sheltered here in the boatyard and haven’t seen more than 40-45 knots tonight as the winds reached their peak. But we’re hearing reports from friends nearby that the winds are almost double that nearer Auckland and Great Barrier.
We hope everyone stays safe overnight and we look forward to some respite tomorrow before the wind swings and picks up again for the second half of this weather event. Good luck everyone! Take care of each other!

WE DON’T KNOW what’s next!
Life on a boat always throws us surprises - sometimes we make plans, and sometimes they get thrown back in our faces.
