In Greenland

At Russell Boating Club's Tall Ships Regatta
Blue Water Medal
I’ve been in New Zealand since 2010, firstly in South Island, and since 2012 in Northland, a beautiful and varied cruising ground. In 2015, I started building a new boat better suited to my requirements than “Fantail”, to see me through my dotage. After over 5 years’ solid work, “FanShi” was launched. She’s my perfect boat, worth all the effort I put in to her. While we could go offshore, I find I’m very happy here – for the moment. Maybe my blog should now be called “Pottering with Annie Hill”!

Merry Christmas to you, too! I just noticed your tag line at the top about how the blog should perhaps be called "Pottering with..." and that you hope people will still enjoy reading about your doings. I just wanted to let you know that (especially as a woman who has cruised and now lives aboard solo) I, for one, highly enjoy reading the blog and I'm so glad you publish it! Can't wait to see what you've been up to on Fantail
Happy New Year, too
Vee
Merry Christmas to you too. From the North of Scotland
