Mile to Mile: Another early start today. There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get all the projects done and still have plenty of time for fun (in the daylight at least). First thing in the morning, I walked a mile to the nearest Laundromat to throw a load in while I tried to catch up on the blog. Hot and humid again but who’s complaining – back home they got 10+ inches of snow and bitter cold. We feel incredibly lucky everyday.

Another day, another ebelskiver party. Eddy and Linda are the first people we’ve made ebelskiver for on this trip who have had them before – Eddy’s grandma used to make them for him many years ago. Suffice it to say that there weren’t any left by the time we finished brunch and got back to our boat (I of course ate my fair share of those little round pancakes).

After spending some time writing the blog, we filled the rest of the afternoon exploring the shops in Dunedin. Its lucky we have a small boat and are trying to downsize or we may have come away with a pretty big pile of things we couldn’t live without.

The humidity finally caught up with us and turned to rain and we barely made it back to the boat before it poured for a short time. This is the only time Aurora is a little uncomfortable – it doesn’t take long to become hot and sticky when you can’t open any windows. But we certainly can’t complain. We have only had two days where it rained during the day and we got wet – in 3+ months of travel. And it will be in the 70’s tomorrow. And probably sunny. And we live on the water. So who’s  complaining?
