It’s been a while since we’ve been on here, but we’ve been busy living life away from the screen. Instead of looking down at our phones, we’ve been looking up and exploring new places. Social media can feel like a full-time job, right? 💻📱😉

So, what have we been up to?

✨ Solomon had his first sailing lesson with grandpa Avon.

🧘🏽‍♂️ Loving life on the Coromandel.

🔧 Finishing the final touches on Windborne’s flooring.

🌊 Helped deliver Greenpeace’s new vessel, Oceania, from the Gold Coast to Darwin.

🧜🏾‍♀️ And we met Minnie May—isn’t she gorgeous ?

Now we’re back in Whangārei, giving Windborne some TLC 🌟🌊💪🏼

A friend caught this peaceful moment as we sailed through Mercury Bay, wrapped in the day’s last light. It’s serene scenes like these, shared by friends, that remind us why we’re drawn to the sea😘

🌊⚓️ And just like that, nearly 6 months later, Windborne made it back into the water where she belongs. Launching day was a few days ago, and we couldn't have asked for better conditions. Our first port of call was Smuggler's Bay, followed by a short sleepover at the Great Barrier before we set sail again towards Whitianga⛵️.

23/05/2023

Just hauled out Windborne, our 1928 schooner, for winter maintenance. Always a nerve-wracking moment, but we're hoping for a smoother ride this year. ⚓️

Last year, we tackled a major project, pulling out both masts and rerigging Windborne. This time, fingers crossed for less work and less time at the dry dock. 🧜🏾‍♀️

Stay tuned for updates as we keep our old girl shipshape. Can't wait to hit the open waters again soon! 🌊⛵️

Visit some of the most breathtaking places around Mercury Bay including Cathedral Cove, Devil's Point, and Pink Beach. Drop anchor and go for a snorkel in the crystal clear waters, paddle-board, or swim onto shore for a little look around. Or you can simply relax on deck and enjoy your picnic lunch.

Wow, what a day! We had an absolutely incredible time sailing with Windborne today. The conditions were perfect for our classic 1928 schooner, and we sailed past some iconic sights like Cathedral Cove, Hahei, and Hot Water Beach. But the best part was being out on the water, feeling the wind in our sails and the sun on our faces. And to top it off, we had some fantastic company on board. Thanks to everyone who joined us onto this yacht ride! If you're looking for an amazing sailing adventure in New Zealand, Windborne is the way to go. ⛵️🌊

What a day we had yesterday on Windborne with a bunch of legends! We set sail from Whitianga and took our guests to see the iconic Cathedral Cove and the Snapper in the Marine Reserve. But let's be real - the stars of the show were our furry friends who walked the plank like seasoned sailors!😜

We can't wait to welcome you on board for your own unforgettable sailing adventure, with stunning scenery, fun in the water, and maybe even some cheeky antics from our furry friends. Join us on Windborne and experience the beauty of Mercury Bay like never before!🙌
