day three yth1304
Kiaora koutou. It was a still night in Paroa Bay last night. We all got up early this morning to see the dolphins swimming around the ship. By the time the sun had risen enough for our morning swim, they had gone, but there was no hesitation to get in the water, despite the chill. Everyone has learned to get straight in, and not linger in the cold morning air, then the hot shower is your reward. This morning it was Kylie and Cassy first in.

Kia Ora Whanau, a great first day aboard the ‘good ship’ has been enjoyed by all. Our new sailors have been getting to know each other and are exploring the ship, they have climbed the rig, the bowsprit and had a swim at Palm tree bay. After a scrummy soup and scone lunch we set sail and sailed a lap of the islands. Tim and Chance are showing confidence aloft and Mandy was the first to brave the water with Wowo following behind. Ebony and Breanna took turns steering the ship and thanks to Captain Steve’s guidance we missed all the islands !! There has been plenty of laughter and fun on our first day, tomorrow can only be better. Ma te Wa, Po Marie Whanau.

Sunshine!!!!!!! Finally a sunny warm day to go exploring!!! It was up early today, and straight into chores, brekky, and off to Deep Water Cove… Our morning swim happened in the form of a dive on white reef, amoungst the fishes and kina galore. The clarity in the water was good, considering the wild weather for yesterday.

Well, it’s been another wet and wild day today. It was a stormy night, last night, and the ships’s anchor held strong in the sticky mud of Orokawa. There was still a fair gale when we woke for our swim, so needless to say, it was a very quick dip in the sea this morning. We made a shore excursion to collect some pipi and stretch the legs, all rugged up for the cold wind..
