Distance run 42nm over the ground
Our long lost friend David and his wife Nicky joined us for five days for a cruise around the Bay of Islands. With one day delay whilst we hid in the marina from foul weather and another day spent hiding from unfavourable conditions in Urupukapuka Bay we had three great days visiting various anchorages and sailing around the “Hole in the Wall” Rock off Cape Brett. Nicky and David were great company and I trust that a good time was had by all.
The centre part of the chart shows our route around the islands. The area is not huge, our total trip around the bay was just 42nm, but there are a host of pretty bays and anchorages with good walks ashore. The scenery is absolutely ‘awesome’.
