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

July 9, 2014March 23, 2016 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

From the Benjamins we turn our bow towards Little Current, a narrow passage through the islands that has a strong current (hence the name), marinas and a town. The best part is that the bridge is one that turns sideways. … Continue reading Little Current and Heywood Island
