Extra instruments (AAPS) on the dash taking the stress out of a day on the water.
🚤 Growing tired of being the ‘passenger princess’ on board, i’d been wanting to spend more time learning to drive our boat and got to tick that box last weekend when I was official ‘boatman’ for hubby and his mate at the NorthIsland Spearfishing Champs at Kapiti last weekend.
There was some reminiscing of the last time I was ‘boatman’ all of five years back when we were in our early days (first week knowing each other 😮) and up in Taupo!!!
☀️ I couldn’t have asked for better conditions, sunshine and minimal wind! Kapiti put it on!! The sea was kind.
🩸⚕️Being out on the water brings some anxiety around being so far from help but with ALL the prep, ALL the juice boxes and carbs, and ALL the tech, I was able to put diabetes aside and enjoy the day.

Heavy legs and a light heart ❤️
Hubby and I took an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of life for a long overdue adventure.
🏕️We camped up at Waiohine Gorge - entrance to the Tararua Forest Park, in the improvised ‘Adventure Wagon’ as our usual adventure mode transport is off the road - not in the fun way.
🥾We set off early the next day headed to Totara Flats Hut for a one day in and out mission (around 20km), hoping to come out the other end with some venison. Spoiler alert, the track was not ‘flat’ 🤣 but was absolutely stunning, rugged, a little bit technical - and a sh*t ton of fun! The swing bridge is an absolute MUST DO!
🦌Despite being a popular public track, there was plenty of sign, and there were deer…just none that were keen to hang around for long!
⚕️🩸My blood glucose levels were as up and down as the elevation profile. Massive shout out to diabetes tech for keeping me comfortable, safe and enabling me to be in the moment….
Where to next Tom Burroughs-Moody?! 📍🧭
