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.

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?)
