Moving on

The KD650 "Sparta" now has a new owner.
The project has been very fun and rewarding. She has looked after me and my family on many trips around the gulf. However time has come to move on to new things.

Coromandel

On the eastern side of the Hauraki Gulf, the Coromandel Peninsular is one of my favourite places to visit for holidays. Usually I drive there. But this time I managed to get there in the KD650.





The boat went well and since I was in cruise mode I waited for favourable conditions to sail over with a reach there and a reach back 3 days later. It took about 5 hours from Auckland which isn't bad considering it is normally a 3 hour plus drive.
It was great to see places I have not seen before and a reminder of how lucky I am to live so close to such nice places.
