Agnes arrives - Whangarei Harbour - 12 May 06

Finally, after 15 months of waiting we get to pick up Agnes.

We drove from Whangaparaoa to Whangarei and after lunch at the town basin we head off to Logan Classic Boats to pick up the keys.

She was moored at the Whangarei Cruising Club in a very tight little mooring. No experience in a boat this size and I get to back it out of a space not much bigger than your averaqge car park.

Finished loading the gear in heavy passing showers. The guys from Logan boats came down and did a few finishing touches during the afternoon.

Met Eric and lyn along with many locals at the Cruising Club that evening. Told we could moor there for as long as we like, $15 per day plus a key to use the shower and toilet facilities in the new club house. Very trusting but much appreciated.
