Wow what a weekend! - Pictures... a few...

[Vagabond]

We headed out from Auckland and over to the Coromandal. sun, sea and dolphins... Lovely.

Antonia took this stunning pic of the reflection in the boats windscreen of the sunset as we approached Pounoui.

Heading out from Auckland, Grant, Antonia and Perry ... I was perched on the bow!

We met up with some dolphins and held a steady 6-7knots, we sped up to 12 knots and they loved it, they started jumping in front of the bow!

We dropped Grant off in the dinghy and gave him the camera...

Excellent pics! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Guess you're pleased with the boat then?

I'm sure that was more fun than sitting in a classroom! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Please do not post pictures like that again, it is against forum rules, Picyures must have fog, rain hailstones, snow, or lots of wind,,

Fun is not allowed here and takes our mind of our work ,

Maybe just moan about failures? or how much boat costs?

Thanks in advance

I agree with Tom....

Firstly I lost at least 10 minutes day dreaming after viewing these pictures; secondly if the other half saw these she would be wanting to emigrate even more than she does already.... !!!

Seriously great photo's... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

A bit closer to home, we get decent sunsets in the Tay estuary and plenty of dolphins.
Oops, have I given away a secret?

The temps are starting to come down now as the summer starts to end... 18 - 20's now.

Jeez and it's end of daylight saving this weekend .. I'll have to come back the the UK for the summer!

 

[RogerRat]

I thought it must be starting to cool off now as we've just moved onto BST and our temps are starting to creep up to around 14/15 now.

Was quite warm last weekend in the sunshine but still a nip in the air.

Keep the pics coming as you seem to have some brill coastline down there. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

MustangTom....those pics of your boat with snow on them were amazing. I have never seen snow on a boat before. Looked even more odd seeing the Mustang name with the snow around it.

Send some back to the marketing guys in Queensland.

We might have the good boating weather over here in the far away colonies, but you old Brits are far more enthusiastic about boating as a lifestyle.

The forum changes mood daily, just like the people in it, keep up the good work!
