Oceans of Hope Challenge November 2022 video 2

We are so privileged that 23 Multiple Sclerosis crew have come on an incredible, challenging adventure with us on Steinlager 2. Destination Opua Marina, Bay of Islands. ETA 1600 Friday 2nd Dec. We departed the Viaduct on Monday with crew from all around the world; NZ, Aussie, UK and Turkey. Hoisted sails to Kawau Island, with great spirits all around. Wicked off wind sailing and great weather made for a fantastic first day. Tuesday we departed for Smokehouse Bay, Great Barrier Island. 30nm sail, with the MS crew on the grinders, running back stays navigating and helming. BBQ dinner on the shore at Smokehouse was the perfect way to end the day ( even roasted marshmallows). Today, we have anchored at Tutakaka. It was a challenging long sail, with all four seasons. Rain, thunder, lighting, wind changes and everyone managed to keep high spirits. It was a great day overall, with everyone overcoming challenges and proving that ANYTHING is possible.
