OpuaDeparting at 5pm, the crew push off from the beach and we set off for a swim destination and slip into a sheltered anchorage at the entrance to the Opua inlet, out of the breeze, where the water goes glassy and the bush comes right down to the shoreline. This is the swim stop. The crew drop the ladder off the back and you can jump in from the deck or climb down, the water in the Bay through summer sits around 20-22°C, and after a day of sightseeing it's the kind of swim you remember. If you'd rather stay on board with a drink and watch, that works just as well, be our guest!
- After the swim we set the sail. The engines go off, the sails fill, and the only sound is the water lapping the hulls. That's when the real magic begins. From here we sail the Bay of Islands inlet, meander past quaint anchorages, then track north into the wider Bay of Islands, along the Russell peninsula and the Tapeka coastline with the outer islands opening up ahead. (pass by)
- Depending on the wind and swell that evening, the skipper picks the best line, sometimes out towards Moturoa Island sometimes tucking in closer to the mainland cliffs at Waitangi where you will see the Waitangi flag post at the Treaty Grounds from the sea. No two evenings run exactly the same route, which is really the beauty of sailing. (pass by)
- The run back towards Paihia harbor on the evening sea breeze at golden hour. The light at this end of the day is what does it, the hills go gold, the water turns that deep blue you only get after five o'clock, and the wind usually settles just enough to make the sail home feel effortless. (pass by)
- We're back on the Paihia beach around 7pm, just in time for your dinner plans. (pass by)
