Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Here are some photos of our trip camping up the Northland Coast. Whananaki has a narrow and shallow harbour mouth that takes you out on the open Pacific off the Northland coast. It is hard to see from the pictures, but there was quite a big swell and about 12 knots of breeze. The friends I was camping with enjoyed the sail. Unknown to me my wife Robyn walked along the rocks to the harbour entrance to capture some to the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 By the way the photos are in reverse order - start at the bottom. They us preparing to leave, out in the bay, and returning through the harbour entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Votaw Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks for posting the pics, Richard. Looks like a spectacular place to sail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yes, thank you for the pics! What is the climate like there now? It looks like you had some rain and fog too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Whitney CS#70 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Greg We are mid summer at present. While we were camping we had Easterlies with drizzle, low cloud and rain for all but two days. The two fine days had no wind - but I put the outboard on and took the kids fishing.

Scott Dunsworth Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Richard you always seem to have fun with your boat. I think I'll sail my Belhaven down there next summer :wink: . Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Scott You may want to trailer it down and sail the short hop from Tierra Del Fuego. If the gas is a problem we can carpool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 This is starting to sound like fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Niemann Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks for continuing to post great photos. You do seem to really enjoy your sailing trips. The scenery down looks like a wonderful place to sail. You continue to give me the incentive to keep at it. I am now hoping for a March 11 launch of my CS 17 "Lively".
