Our November 2021 visit to French Pass & d'Urville Island was from Thursday 18th
to Sunday 21st November 2021 It was memorable for a variety of reasons. The
Blood Red Super Moon was seen - the longest partial lunar eclipse in 580 years!
The sky was clear and we had a good view of it.

A couple of Rugby matches featured and we had the luxury of Sky Sports to watch the NPC final (Waikato beat Tasman) and the Test Match - (France beat the All Blacks). Not a happy time for the local viewers.

The fishing featured Cod & Mussels from Current Basin on Thursday, a poor catch of assorted fish on Friday at the Rangitoto Islands, a rough trip and few fish from Greville Harbour on Saturday and our quota of cod from Current Basin in the rain on Sunday.

On the home front, we ate and drank well; Glen and Richard made Spring Rolls, but the proposed wine tasting competition was put off till another day.

A note: The GPS function of a lost hearing aid is not very accurate in a region of poor cellular reception. The aid is still lost and the insurance company is poorer. (Have you ever heard of a poor insurance company?)
