Now you can grow some skunky ass outdoor buds in the bush.

Good for you two!! May it all work out even better than you planned.

**caspernz** · 15th December 2013, 19:28

Congrats to you both! Only downside might be having lots of KBers come to stay...

Was up that way couple of weeks ago, very nice.

Good luck with the move, you're on my list for the next trip up norf.

I guarantee within a year Maha will have a 4x4 ute stacked with fish bins & be wearing white gumboots constantly. Every time a nor'easter blows up he will be on East beach or Tokerau beach pillaging scallops.
The next morning he will be on 90 mile beach with a flounder or mullet net, Mom, nipple deep, hanging on for dear life while Maha hauls it around. Then a quick wriggle for Tuatua's on the way home. February / March will be a couple of chucks of the surf caster while enjoying a cold beer on the front door step & walking back with a couple of fat Kahawai for sashimi. 15 minutes, tops.

If the boat is in the deal then a couple of cray pots will be nestled a k or 2 down the coast at Aurere most of the time. Always worth grabbing a feed of mussels while your there. About now a walk to end of the point, the harbour entrance, & floating a livie out will get you a behemoth King fish or snapper!

Heaven has come early, it's paradise but you still need to make a crust, if you got the crust it's heaven.

Spells it pretty much (thank you all for the comments) the crust part is very pleasing and was the only point of clarification to iron out yesterday. We were encouraged to take time off by the owner, just get some friends to look after the place for the weekend. I intend to buy a double Kayak asap, have to get that long line out somehow I guess? We have seen a number of beaches/bays up that way in the past, it's a stunning area and the locals are really friendly. My last job in flooring is on the 23rd, then just need to tidy up a few things around here before the house goes on the market. Feeling is buzzing, and we both can't wait now.

PS: We LOVE scallops!
