1200 position 35 13S 174 12E, at anchor in 13 feet
This morning it looked like we were done with low pressure systems for a while so we left Opua Marina and motor sailed ten miles to a protected anchorage in a little bay between Moturua and Motukiekie Islands. These relatively high islands provide good shelter from wind and waves, and the hiking ashore is supposed to be great. We'll find out about that this afternoon. Some of the islands have isolated fancy houses on them, but not Moturua. The chart says it's a wildlife sanctuary.
There are hundreds of protected anchorages like this one In The Bay of Islands, and all of them within a 50 square mile area. This is going to be fun.
