Overview
When you arrive in NZ and get to the South Island I am sure you will enjoy Nelson. It is a delightful place to hole up for a while. It has a fine marina, good facilities for lift-out and boat repairs. The people are nice, the food supply excellent and they grow a lot of good wine, veges and fruit. Shops are 2km away. The Nelson Marina will certainly pencil you in if they are aware you are coming, which makes a difference. They do not communicate on VHF or SSB. Ring on the phone, email or snail-mail giving LOA and proposed length of stay, is the best way. There is a substantial fishing industry so there are good engineers, engineering repairs and supplies.

Local Weather
It has the best weather in New Zealand. Like porridge - not too hot; not too cold - just right. And no bugs, sharks, blue ringed octopus, stingers, stone fish, flies, sand flies, cockroaches, snakes or nasty poisonous spiders. Big blue skies, calm in the morning but good NE sea breeze for sailing in the afternoon, except of course when the weather is grotty.
