Looked very challenging, but obviously worth it. You guys still out there, its been almost 1 year since I arrived back from sailing NZ to Fiji with Scotty and I still miss the cruising life very much. Enjoy!

Interesting as usual, I tried to get into Parengarenga, 9th February in my Nova 28 'Connie', but there was an Easterly 1.6m swell running, got half way and turned round, too much white water, old charts and no local knowledge. Good to know there is plenty water for next time. Thanks for sharing.😊

Wise decision! I wouldn’t say that there is plenty of water. Shallow and shifting. We got lucky!

We draw 1.8m. There were a bunch of shallow entries up top. We lucked out with calm weather and moved on rising tide close to springs high. We had good tips about the shifting sand bars.We didn’t count on getting into any of these potentially dodgy places and had a Plan B. Glad you liked it!

I know you can not film it. What struck me on the passage. Watches 2400 to 400 under that vast sky full of stars forever with not a soul for hundreds of miles except you little boat surging along in the vast emptiness. The southern cross slowly coming higher on the horizon as the days past . Soul searing. We run Fiji to Auckland in six and a half days in a 45foot 22 ton concrete Hartley Tahitian ketch with only the two of us . Straight line broad reach under Yankee jib, one reef main and full mizen the entire way . You could guess what that was like.

lol lived and sailed for two years around NZ and Fiji. I related to the difference in speed between a car and a yacht . In a cruising yacht . Six knots = motorway speed. Nine knots you are really racing is scary fast.
