The flight to Queenstown was actually one of the best flights I have ever had.   We were told by the captain that we would have to circle around for a while and what a view.   We had clear skies and … Continue reading Queenstown

Motuarohia Island and the little Blue Penguin

May 14, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

We set our sights today on an island where Captain Cook landed here in 1769.   He was met by the Maori, where a small battle ensued.   When it was over, they soon learned that the good Captain and his crew … Continue reading Motuarohia Island and the little Blue Penguin

Rere Cove

May 4, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Crazy sailing day as we headed north. The South winds picked up, which increased the swells making for a bit of a rocky ride even though the winds were mostly behind us. When we tried to change direction, we ended … Continue reading Rere Cove

Waewaetorea Bay

May 2, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

We had this modest little cove to ourselves for the night as it is only good anchorage if the wind comes off the land. We felt that the winds would hold steady so we dropped anchor. There was a small … Continue reading Waewaetorea Bay
