Amazing First Chartering Season
July 16, 2008
What an amazing first full summer season we have had !
When we were building Cool Change here in the Bay of Islands, we never dreamed how popular she would be. The free-standing rotating wing masts have proven to be a real point of difference and give the clients a real buzz when they take a turn at the wheel.
We have had steady private day trips all summer but also several wedding parties and business groups as well as some great family holidays.
Later in the summer Northland experienced unusual Easterly winds and rain with swells along the coast so we were able to again appreciate the sheltered aspect of the Bay of Islands. There is always a sheltered bay to be found, but we were able to enjoy brisk sailing as well.
Overnight Sail to Great Barrier
July 16, 2008
Another family opted for a couple of long overnight sails to and from Great Barrier Island for a long weekend. The 70 year old birthday boy enjoyed a hike through the spectacular bush to a Kauri Dam with his son Neil and Cool Change’s breathless crew. The wiser Mum and Gran stayed with the children to play in the lower bush and streams near the beach. We all dined well on crayfish and snapper that weekend.
