Auckland to Whangarei

We are now well into our refit in Whangarei with the antifoul done and slowly working our way through the job list. We will be here for about another 10 days before we start heading north, initially to Opua where we will clear out for Vanuatu.

Leaving Auckland for the last time. This is the view as we headed out of the Bayswater Channel on Friday last week.

We had a rough trip up the coast to Whangarei! It alternated between flat calm and a nice sailing breezes in stark contrast to the 50 knot squalls we had last time we went to Whangarei!
