Parent abuse

This has to be my verion of parent abuse, in the last week we have had the edge of a cyclone, one fine day and then a huge amount of rain and wind, confined in a small

space with a 22 month old oh and myself is not my idea of fun, like all of us I love nothing better than snuggling up in bed falling asleep to the sound of the rain but

that was great the first night and maybe the second but the novelty is starting to wear off.

The forecast is for the sun to appear again Tuesday so looking forward to that, Eva and I are far too alike and if we cant get rid of our energy then is a bit like 

Horishihima.

All in all though things have been superb, other than the obvious issue of loneliness Eva and I are both born to the ocean and it is great to spend so much time with

each other something very few dads have the pleasure and luxury of.

Last week we got to spend an amazing few days cruising in company, the Hartleys were away on another boat and it was really special to spend time just hanging out

having a few wines, playing cards, watching the kids play and stretching the grey matter Lauraine and Grant are incredible people and I am very lucky to have them

as friends.

So the plan now, well head south really, a friend has just had a baby so Auckland bound we are and a few friends are around im mid February so in all likelihood spend 

the best part of the month down there before heading back up north, it all depends on the weather, if its easy then we will go south if not we will do a cruing race next

week north to Whangaroa with some friends.
