We splashed out and spent the last two nights in Opua marina so we could catch up with friends - one of whom flew over from Aussie. We had a great weekend and are now anchored back outside the marina

Awoke to a clear, sunny, calm day. Motored around to Opua and anchored up in the very brown muddy waters of Opua. Steve had a report for work to finish, and then we went ashore for showers and a

Arrived in Bay of Islands. Interesting sail up the coast with variable winds. Sometimes had to motorsail, other times storming along at 8knots. Anchored up just on dusk, and now cooking our fresh

Left Whangarei Heads and now sailing up the coast to Opua. We started with little wind on the nose, but now have 14knts on the beam so we are moving along nicely doing 7+ knots. A few showers are

Stopped in to Marsden Cove Marina for the night to catch up with friends. They recently bought a 73ft ex Pilot vessel to live and travel overseas on. We were talking about the guy who originally had

The renter in our berth said he'd be leaving Tuesday afternoon, but we were unsure what time exactly. We left kawau mid-morning in beautiful sunshine and turned towards the South to be greeted by

We turned our AIS off in order to sneak back into Gulf Harbour a bit earlier than planned in order to surprise a few friends. Motor sailed all the way to Kawau and had a lovely calm night there.

Left Whangaroa on Sunday and headed south to Whangamumu. Had a look at the old whaling station there. It's a bit sad really that we hunted these beautiful intelligent creatures for oil. What a lot of

Yet another day waiting out the metservice's forecast of 35 gusting 45 knot winds that never eventuated. We're remembering that we never put much trust in their forecasts before - they are usually a

Had a gusty night at anchor. Was 2knts one minute then you could hear the wind coming and it was up to 25 in about 5 seconds. Not sure the wind gear was fast enough to give an accurate reading as it

We checked out the bustling Metropolis of Whangaroa - it didn't take long. We stopped at the pub at lunch time for a cold one and had a good chat to the publican. He informed us that there are no

Anchored in this bay because a book said there were scallops here. They lied.

Decided to explore Whangaroa so turned north out of Bay of Islands. Just heading in now, but not sure if we'll have cell coverage inside the harbour so doing a yit update now. That way if you don't

Back to Opua so we could have drinkies and dinner at the OCC with Graeme & Lyn off Toronui, and Paul & Karen off Gigi. They both just got back from Fiji. Heading out of bay of islands this morning
