Didn’t manage to come out to see us during all that time we spent in Aotearoa?
Don’t despair, our cruising in this beautiful country was bookended by two pieces in Cruising Helmsman magazine in Australia.
There’s one all about sailing in the Bay of Islands and down the northland coast here: https://www.water-log.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2.-Homecoming-to-a-foreign-land.pdf
And another which looks at boating in the islands of the Hauraki Gulf here: https://www.water-log.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/CH-May-2017.pdf
I hope that you enjoy them and that you have a chance to see the stunning vistas of New Zealand yourself one day.
