This morning was calm and clear, a stunning morning. No wind and a small swell, yet again the weather was kind to me for a Waiheke to Coromandel crossing. Fun times on arrival as I arrived to near on a low tide and had lots of soft mud to wade through.

Lots of people have asked me why this way ? Why to Wyuna bay?..

Well this is my journey and along the way I want to enjoy seeing friends and family in their homes, so I have done a small back leg to see family, Jeanette & Leith. Thank you for having me.

Stopped in and now off to look around and to breathe. This journey has been a long time as a dream and a long time of prep. Now, well, now it is real.

It is peaceful now up on the hill overlooking the bay. I am getting ready for a new day, new wind, a bit of rain and also seeing my team tomorrow...
