What’s the sea like? Are there heaps of boats out again?

He’s not at West end beach & he’s not at the spit. We’re just off to look for him further. I will txt you on the number if we see him. Yvette.

TY Yvette. I’m driving up from Otaki today so will update as soon as I hear but can’t stop too often to check computer. He does do this about once a week … disappears for a morning or so … probably to go have a good meal.

I saw him following a yacht out to sea and we did go out on Phil’s boat early arvo to look for him but it looked like they were already at Matata and there appeared to be some boats travelling with the yacht as well. So perhaps he’s having a little holiday at Matata or further north Boo Hoo !!!!

I’m sure I heard the collective sigh of relief from over here in the big smoke……I had the welcome mat out just in case though 🙂

Moko was playing with a plastic pipe by himself at the Heads this afternoon – to the disappointment of the 20-or so swimmers waiting for him at the spit Finally a man stole the pipe off him! Moko was not at all happy at first but then he seemed to realise that it was not a permanent theft and started bringing it close to the swimmers to be “stolen” the returned again and again. 🙂

Thank you for your phone call Martine. Was nice to finally hear that he had been located after all of the uncertainty. 🙂
