Four days in The Bay of Islands.

Well we can only thank Capt Mike Bland for these fantastic 4 days sailing around these beautiful bays and islands. He acted as our chauffeur, cook, navigator, waiter, cleaner, entertainment manager and most importantly Health and Safety rep. With that much energy on board it was like sailing with Bruce Forsyth, Sue Pollard and Graham Norton all rolled into one. We really enjoyed our first sail and had many laughs. It was pure delight pulling up into some of the most picturesque of bays and sleeping peacefully  with gentle waves lapping on the side of the boat...great stuff.

Back on solid ground.

Mike takes the sailor boy buisness a little too far!
