) On returning to Beulah at 11:45 PM we had just filled our glasses when a gentle knocking was heard . There was a huge variety of need amongst these children , ranging from Down 's syndrome and autism to severe intellectual and physical disability . First little separate piles of hot food , with some chutneys , to eat with chapattis and other breads . By a strange twist of fate a partner in our doctor 's practice , a family friend , was at Great Barrier Island on her own family 's boat , and Ian was tested on arrival , diagnosed not with plain old seasickness but with a grumbling appendix , and put to bed on the hospital ship ( the doctor 's boat ) following a preliminary radio call to the marine emergency centre in case a helicopter had to be summoned during the night . So off we went , despite a windy forecast , setting out in 25 knots of wind with two reefs for a pleasant cruise to Man O ' War Bay on the far side of Waiheke Island .
