We Start Exploring NEW ZEALAND | Sailing with Six | Ep 43
Here is our latest Southern Hemisphere episode. We will keep alternating between our catamaran adventures and older monohull memories until we’re all caught up. Enjoy!
In this episode we are sailing to Great Barrier Island/Aotea Island in New Zealand. We give you a tour of the unique spot called Smokehouse Bay where we get to try out old clothes wringers, enjoy the rope swings and test out the pizza oven! Delicious!
Then we show you how our family does a day trip. Day Trip Mission! We load up a hire car with all our toys, food and children and explore some of the beaches of this beautiful island making sure to wear everyone out in the process. Don’t miss the bonus footage right at the end! Enjoy
Have you ever used a wringer? Did you spot Archie riding koala style on Kris’s back while kiting at Tryphena? How do you wear the kids out?
