Oakura bach sold for Wild Bird
In Whangaruru Harbour, I built a house and fitted it out over five years. At first the walls were paper, with dragons painted on for the kids. The basement was filled in after we left, but it has good memories for us. We sold it to finance Wild Bird. Beneath the house I stored a boat and engine. The girls (four and five years) used to wake me in the dark to go fishing.
The girls used to swim here, and shelter in the shade.
About Colin Lowe
Hi I not living aboard our boat. I started this blog when cruising the upper North Is. In Sept 2012 my wife and I started work as caretakers in the Bay of Islands. You could say it is a dream job for us, and our boat is moored just off our worksite. My family (wife and two daughters) circumnavigated the globe several years back. Back in Nelson, while the girls went to uni and my wife drove tour buses I odd jobbed and maintained our boat. Now it is maintain properties and the boat during time off. This blog gives me practice in keeping up writing skills.
