DINGHY CRUISING in our 'backyard': Great Barrier Island New Zealand

Episode 050 We're in Aotea, Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf and so far it's been great. We've so far explored Smokehouse Bay which was just awesome. Our friends have now arrived, it's high tide which means it's time to cruise up a couple of tidal wetlands but we can only cruise up them with T?t? (our dinghy (tender)) at high tide and even then it's shallow. Will we get stuck? Are we about to be up a creek...but with a paddle? Who gets out when you venture into shallow waters? We also stretch the legs with a walk around Kaikoura Island. We hope you enjoy it! As always, thanks for watching.

A nomadic duo who traded land life for a life on the water. Follow us to see what we see and what it's like living a nomadic lifestyle. Currently exploring New Zealand but a big adventure is coming soon! In December 2021, we moved aboard our sailboat Te T?iko, a Chico 40, and we have been fortunate to sail to many of New Zealand's islands and anchorages. T?iko is our floating home. She gives us the freedom to go anywhere the wind and weather allows. Our plan? We try not to make too many plans but plan to do blue water cruising. Whilst sailing New Zealand's northern coastline, we're completing some maintenance work on T?iko and getting her ready to meet New Zealand's category 1 requirements. In the meantime, follow along with us as we navigate this lifestyle whilst sharpening our skills sailing New Zealand waters. #boatlife #boat #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailing #travel #sailinglife
