Do you have a good batter recipe for cauliflower? The one I tried didn’t work out too well.

I do not own an air fryer but I’m starting to think I may need to invest in one.

Survey on the boat is supposed to be this week but there is a weather system developing off the coast and it’s bringing high winds and rough seas. Not very conducive to a haul out and sea trial so we may have to delay it to the following week, which will push back everything else with the purchase and getting on board. Ah well, they say you shouldn’t sail to a schedule, I guess you shouldn’t try buying a sailboat to a schedule either!

Thanks! Depends significantly on the lake (size, surrounding terrain etc). Taupo can be pretty unpredictable. You’ll have no wind at all and then all of a sudden be on your side. Beautiful though and great swimming. Highly recommend!

P.S. I have also sailed very different boats in lakes vs. sea so that’s another factor to counter in.

Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo

Oh yeah, sure!

We are buying the boat along the east coast of America so we are going to hopefully start by exploring the north of the east coast/Canada and then head down to the Caribbean for Christmas. After that, who knows. Fun fact: she was a marker boat for the Americas cup in NZ so she can certainly get us back home if we muster up the confidence!

Haha a bizarre dream for sure but they were very cute and may have had butterfly wings. I have no idea what was going on in my brain.

My work place has an app to open the front door. I refuse to use it and will continue to inconvenience myself by using my key.

This is random but I read this post and then had a dream about baby Tuataras that same night. I barely ever dream so that was fun.
