Left Tutukaka this morning for a little bay just inside Cape Breem (can’t remember it’s name), but after two tries in 20 plus knots of wind we couldn’t get the anchor to set. First failure ever! So we went another 3 miles to Marsden Cove and are snug in a slip for the night (with showers!).

Nice day, sailed all the way, about 25 miles, in 20 knots on the nose. Really nice sailing. Still pinching ourselves that we’re sailing down the coast of New Zealnd.

We might stay another day, but then we have about 7 miles up river to Whangerie where we’ll stay a while.
