• Whitianga to Kennedy Bay

    We're on the move again!

    Unfortunately, we are now in the twilight of our sailing adventure, with only two more weeks before we hang up our sailing boots and return to life on land. This means we need to start getting Starling back to Auckland.

    We made the first jump along the Coromandel Peninsula with a four hour motor sail to Kennedy Bay. Unfortunately when we arrived we found we had an issue with the water maker. So until further notice we're drinking bottled water and on high water conservation. We have at least 100L in the tanks and plenty of bottled water, so not code red at this stage.

    Fingers crossed the issue can be sorted, otherwise we'll need to find somewhere to fill our tanks, or make a quick pit stop in Westhaven before returning to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

    Vela made a fantastic Korean noodle soup with pork ribs and potatoes for dinner, and Nathan spent a bit of time cloud watching before bed.
