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

First time have Alyssa on the boat so that was great. Having Keagan & Debbie onboard as well made it very special. Nice breeze to introduce the young ones to sailing then a stop off for lunch and a bit of fun on the Kayaks before heading 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

Lovely day on the water … stopped off at Little Port Cooper for a wee while before heading back to the marina.

Gentle NE as we motored over to Purau for the night. Fang behaved well so that’s a relief. First time for Debbie as well … happy days 🤙🏻

Heading out across the bay and I lost drive .. put up main sail and reached back & forth till a helper (Dave) arrived to help me. Put dingy into the water and sailed into the marina, dropped the mail and dingy pushed me into my berth. A new experience 🤙🏻

Light NE with cool overcast conditions made for a pleasant sail
