Deborah Wai Kapohe

Started the day with a breakfast on the beach then Debbie chose to swim back to the boat… bloody freezing so needed a hot shower before we headed out the heads. Light winds but enough to move around 3-4 knots at times and this brought the dolphins & 2 Kingfish. Managed to land one then headed back to Little Port Cooper to fillet it. Motor-sailed back to the marine most of the way with the NE filling in for the last mile or so… Wonderful 3 days on the water, ready for the next session already!!!

Started off with a nice NE which had us moving along at around 5 knots at times however that started to fade as we passed through the heads. Not sure why my iPad lost track?

Was a bit more wind than expecting (gusting 18 knots) so full main & # 2 genoa kept me on my toes. Wind against tide is always fun but all in all a fantastic way to start a few days on the water. Lovely swim in the evening capped off with a wonderful steak…

Light southerly that did have a few gusts here and there. Just an easy cruise home giving 1st mate the opportunity to trim the sails. Great way to end a stunning two days on the water.

Lovely day on the water with a moderate NE… kept it nice and easy with the #3 Genoa & 1st reef in the main. Bit of a chit at times with wind on current which was a new experience for Posh. Spent the arvo on anchor in Purau… #GoodTimes

Light NE as we left the marina for a short sail up to Port Levy then dropped anchor at Ripara Island. Had lunch a bit of kayaking and a walk in the hills before heading back to the marina. Wind was a perfect on the way home but sadly time was once again against us.

Light southerly as we left the marina that died off so dropped anchor. Had a lovely feed and a nap before motor sailing back to the marina

Gusty initially so plans to head back to the marina under main alone. Wind settled so changed plan and did a bit of sailing teaching Debbie the basics. Getting pretty sporty towards the end but a great day none the less

Beautiful evening sail in a easing southerly
