The dates of the 2018 Bay of Islands Sailing Week have been confirmed, with registration on Tuesday 24 January and three days of racing from 25 to 27 January.
As I sat on the terrace having my breakfast it was very busy down in the bay with yachts leaving the marina. The procession of yachts was making it difficult for the 2 ferries as they have to give way to other vessels.
As it’s only a 15 minute drive from home I expect we shall be visiting it at least once or twice a week. We were able to park in the shade again and install our favourite chairs overlooking the bay. The tide was well out. This time I had come prepared and was looking forward to my first dip in the sea. The sea was beautifully warm and the beach dips gently so no danger of sudden drops into the depths! Nigel still not braving the waters but I think that he may be tempted next time.
