YTH 2114 – Rima Ra

Today we woke up in Paroa Bay. The glassy ocean turned in into the perfect conditions for Lil Tuc, (our dinghy sailboat) learning to drive the tender and tackling the Tucker Challenge.


We explored the Bay under sail and under motor, all getting a turn on the tiller. A few sneaky hammer heads and small sharks hung around the ship and we the dolphins visited us in the distance. The Trainees scaled the mast to collect their Tucker bracelets, then ate a hearty lunch and we set sail.

We arrived in the stunning Waewaetoria and Ryder and Wyatt went diving with Eloise and Wayne bringing home a monster snapper and a beautiful Butterfish for the BBQ. Ryder drive the Tender back delivering the haul back to the ship. The rest of the team headed to the beach to explore the caves, the white sandy beaches and the rocks around the shore. A very special day with summer knocking on the door.

A BBQ dinner finished the most perfect day on the Tucker.
