DAY 24: I Love Sailing

From NZ - DAY 24

AHIPARA -- Today I took a sailing/dolphin watching trip around the Bay of Islands. I thought it was quite awesome.

I was suppose to swim with the dolphins but they don't let you do so when there are babies in the group -- and there were babies in the group today.

That was kind of disappointing, but we saw tons of bottlenose dolphins in the bay. Watching the dolphins was the first part of the day.

After that I jumped aboard a catamaran. The weather was so nice and it was great just hanging out getting pushed by the wind.

At one point we stopped at one island for a few hours. I did some kayaking and tubing (or riding the biscuit as they called it).

And I did not get a horrible sunburn. How nice. My feet are a bit burned however. After the island we sailed around a few other islands and I just laid back and relaxed laying in the sun.

What a beautiful day. Made me want to buy a boat and live off the sea off the grid.

Of course that would change the first second I saw storm clouds I am sure.

Good day. It makes coming home really hard.

I hope all is well.
