Sunday on the water

Yesterday I swam with some other at Takapuna, but it is getting really cold now. We only went to the third buoy and my feet were seriously cold afterwards. Good company made it worthwhile.

After that I finished the deck outside out bedroom door, I think it looks quite good, but my back felt all the bending over.

Today we dropped Megan off at the twins in Devonport, and the Alison, Duncan & I caught the ferry over to Auckland. Pam had given me a family pass to the maritime museum and it included a ride on the Ted Ashby (a replica turn of the century sailing scow). We had a great time sailing on the Ted Ashby, it was cold but clear and a steady breeze, good sailing weather. Duncan got to sail the boat under the harbour bridge and the captain was patient and answered all his questions. We saw some boats involved in a race come past and a couple of people bungy jumping off the harbour bridge.

We went through the museum after that, an interesting place, and then caught the ferry back to Devenport, all in all a very plesant day.
