We are staying at Momorangi Bay, almost opposite NZ's Outward Bound School at Anakiwa. Today, across the sound, we could see one of the cutters heading for Anakiwa. The wind was against them and things weren't going that well. They would have been returning from a 3 day sailing scheme and were still struggling with the concepts. Eventually they got back to the school and I imagine were looking forward to hot showers and a comfortable bed. Tomorrow they will be heading out on another 3 day scheme (kayaking, tramping, solo in the bush, or maybe community service?) It's a tough course, but a great adventure - we gave our kids an OB course for their 21st present.
Wow - what a present! I hope they were appreciative of it. I'm not sure I would be comfortable in this Course! You have got a super photo of the cutter!
@busylady yes we can travel within NZ. The only Covid cases are all from overseas and contained in managed isolation. I image if it escapes into the community then we will be in lockdown and will have to scuttle home very quickly.
We used to camp there when I was little! One of our first places we went camping. I remember a beautiful beach! What a great present for them. The thought of the solo camp scared me, but at least in NZ there aren't half the predators in the wild that there are in Canada or other parts of the world.
@kiwichick yes - momorangi is lovely but very crowded and busy now. When I completed my OB course at age 22, I thought solo would be scary too, but it was actually ok!
