From Nelson we sail to the Abel Tasman National Park where the bays are pristine and the fish, bird and seal-life are abundant. Here there are sandy beaches and good walks to explore for you. Our next leg crosses the Tasman Bay to D’Urville Island. Normally we sail during the day, but if the northwesterlies pipe up, we travel at night when the winds are calmer. We drop anchor in a beautiful fiord surrounded by native bush. Since you can only access the private spot by boat, there are no linking tracks. Next we sail through Stephens Passage where we need calm weather because of the tide current of Cook Strait. A school of orcas was sighted there just this year. We head into the picturesque Marlborough Sounds with its many branching fiords, home of New Zealandâ’s salmon farms, blue cod and green-lipped muscles. Then our journey takes us to the quaint village of Havelock. Here are cafes and antique and craft shops and world class fresh seafood. On the route home we sail through French Pass with its exciting swift currents and dramatic beauty.
