We’re in Tauranga – Early!

February 17, 2014

We thought we’d stay out and cruise for another week but this is the weather forecast we saw last night…

We were at Great Mercury Island and with the direction and strength of the forecast winds, we’d have to hang there until Thursday before we could resume cruising.  That turned out to be just a little too long for the slightly barn-sour crew of Legacy, so off we went, through the night until we saw this sight early in the morning…

Now we’re safely tucked in to the marina and have already had our first Hamburger!  It feels great to be HOME.  That’s right, I said “home.”  I think Tauranga feels most like home to me now, even over California, where I spent most of 54 years.

Life is good, both out there exploring and tied up next to a city. -Rich
