Thanksgiving in New Zealand…cruiser style

I already posted on Facebook but I wanted to recapture it here on the blog….

 

The Opua Cruising Club held a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner…American Style. For $30/pp we enjoyed great food and great company…plus it would be hard to cook a turkey on the boat : )
Pre dinner adult beverages….. our view from the OCC looking out to the moorings and anchorage. We are currently on the dock but you can’t beat the wonderful view here.
Our cruising “family” in essence….. the place was packed and we all enjoyed chatting it up and talking about our passages and our future cruising plans.
Our tables looked more like a Fourth of July event…but whatever….
The Buffet!!!!
Yummmmm….went for seconds too!
We were treated to a wonderful all women’s choir who plans to sing in St. Louis, Missouri next year for a competition…they were REALLY good…we thought how appropriate : )

SV Me Too and Slow Flight…notice the long pants and long sleeves…it’s cold here compared to the tropics…we don;t care at this point..just glad to be here!HAPPY TURKEY DAY 2017!!!!

 

p.s.  Here we were in wonderful San Carlos, Mexico for Turkey day 2016!
