Motuihe Island awaits us - another adventure, another challenge, a day ashore to explore and discover new shores.

Our mission is to circumnavigate Waiheke Island, and we’re now halfway there. There’s still plenty more to discover about this remarkable island - and about ourselves - along the way.

Sailing was the order of the day yesterday, with a fair wind and a keen crew, making for an enjoyable day on the water for everyone.

Today began with our contribution towards the Live Ocean Midwinter Swim Challenge. Our young swimmers took on the chilly conditions to support the challenge.

We sailed from Waitematā Harbour late yesterday afternoon in light winds, anchoring on the southern side of Waiheke Island. The evening was spent getting to know one another, sharing stories, and making new friends.

Now a new day has begun - starting with an early morning swim - and everyone is looking forward to the adventures, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead.
