New Zealand Sailing Trust Voyage on Steinlager2
This year, 23 senior Kerikeri High School students, accompanied by Mr Andy Wilis and Miss Katie Batterton, experienced the five-day voyage on board Steinlager2. The voyage took students from Cape Brett and Deepwater Cove to the Whangaroa Harbour. A stopover at the Cavalli Islands on the way back involved a walk on Motukawanui Island, the largest of the Cavalli group. From there it was back to the Bay of Islands with a final night anchored off Roberton Island. Those who were brave enough swam around the boat each morning and some were actually hard to persuade to get out of the wintery water. The weather ranged from sunny and warm to windy, rainy and cold.
The students did themselves and Kerikeri High School proud, with skipper Mike Brown praising the students, saying what a pleasure it was to share the experience with them.
