GREAT BARRIER ISLAND: Shenanigans With Friends!
We Sail 11 Hours to The GORGEOUS REMOTE BAYS of Great Barrier Island! | S01E01 Sailing Pivo
This video is about our experience sailing from Mahurangi, New Zealand to Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. It took us 11 hours one way and 14 hours back, and is our longest sail yet. We stayed at Overlook Cove on the North side of the island and then moved to Stone Bay near Port Fitzroy. We saw all the nature and heard the songs of the island that they talk about at this off-grid water paradise. We enjoy the standing board, hikes in the mountains, and swim in the beautiful deep water. Come join the fun and shenanigans as we face some big challenges and hang out with awesome friends!

ABOUT US
Come join my wife and I as we learn to sail and have new sailor experiences on our new Whiting 40. We are a brand new sailing couple, and have fallen in love with the sport. Many sailing lessons have been learned so far as we learn how to become sailors. Our first mate, Pivo, keeps us out of trouble and is also learning along the way.
We are starting our voyage in New Zealand where we have been living for the last 4 years. But we are going zero to cruising because we're from the mountains of Colorado and have zero experience! Our first sail was with the sailing school, Great Escape, up in Opua, New Zealand (home the 2021 America's Cup). We hope our lessons from a beginner sailor will help you also as we set out on a multi-year sailing adventure around the world.
We hope to become a fulltime sailing / cruising family soon, as we love the sailing lifestyle so much! We love traveling, meeting new people, and seeing the world. We hope you come along for the adventure!
Thank you so much for having a watch! Please like this video and subscribe to our channel!

Fair winds & calm seas,
