Episode 5: Sailing to Cathedral Cove - Coromandle Peninsula New Zealand

After a nice sail from Great Barrier island to Whitianga, we pull the anchor early for a morning sail a few miles around the corner to Cathedral Cove. Arriving with the sunrise we get some beautiful scenes as the sun hits the coastline. We spend some time exploring the Te Whanganui A Hei marine reserve, Motueka island, as well as Gemstone bay, and the south end of Hahei beach. With a dirty easterly sea state set to arrive in a few days and funds running low its time to set sail back home to Mt Maunganui in the Bay Of Plenty.
