Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Mistletoe Bay, Inner Queen Charlotte, NZ
A nice sunny anchorage, reasonably well sheltered in a Northerly, plenty of room to swing. Around 8m of water and a sandy bottom.
Less Choice Than You Might Think (David)
We counted ourselves lucky to find a suitable weather window within a week of being ready to leave
Wellington. We've been on this voyage for three weeks and most of our movements have been
determined for us by the weather.
The Wairarapa Coast passage was dominated by two things. Foremost was to put this fickle and
dangerous part of the coast behind us. The other was 'getting our sea legs'. We were all a little clumsy
and unsteady on our feet. Janet, true to form, was unsteady also in her gut.

“Two clicks to starboard,” calls a voice from the cabin.
I cross the cockpit and push twice on the right-hand button of the autopilot, steering the boat two degrees closer to our course.
I look at the sky, vast, unencumbered by land, unlike Wellington Harbour which is surrounded by hills that play havoc with the sky-scape.

and then sleep!
