We are just coming out of a very wet and windy winter in New Zealand, so the arrival of spring is more than overdue and welcome. The weekend just gone was looking great with warm settled weather forecast so the family and I took the H190 out for a run in the Waitemata harbour to Waiheke island.

Great Pictures. You are just starting your season, and I am just about ready to wrap our season up. Hopefully we will have a couple more good weeks. This past Saturday was nice, and we had the 268 out all day. Thanks for sharing what looks like a nice day on the water.

Nice pictures Chris.
I was in New Zealand a couple of years ago, stayed in Aukland, then drove up to Paihia in the bay of islands were we hired a boat, thats were I got the bug to start boating again. When I got home I bought a Vista and named it after the travel company we booked through 'Beyond the Blue'
Great memories of a fabulous country, your a lucky man.

Congratulations on the start of a new season and please play safe! I like the toweron your boat. I would like to add a forward facing arch style to our boat but will have bimini issues that will probably make it not happen.

P.S. Please add that nice shot of your boat at rest in the thread of the same name! I hope all you Aussie guys will now start to put up your boats as your season begins and progresses. The more pictures we have the more we can sit and dream of the season to come (just like you guys have been doing for th past months).

Well I'm hoping for a long summer with many days spent out on the water in the boat. I'll be sure to post plenty of pictures to keep you guys amused during your winter. The tower is from a NZ company http://www.ology.co.nz who design and produce various aftermarket bits for boats mainly with a wakeboarding bent.

Great to hear you have visited our country Beyond the Blue. I was in Paihia myself in May for an industry conference and it sure is a beautiful part of NZ and a real boating/fishing/diving paradise.
