Merry Christmas to all as we take our Maiden Voyage on Kalea

After two weeks on the docks, outfitting the boat and exploring the city life, we threw off the dock lines and headed out on our maiden voyage on Kalea! We sailed off to the islands for Christmas, just Scott and I, but so grateful for Starlink for those face time calls to our kids and parents.

Such a rush to be sailing on a catamaran, after 6 years on our beloved Sea Bella Monohull. Kalea is swift, light, and very responsive. She moves so quickly with just a tiny little breeze. I feel like we are back on our Hobie 20, but dry and comfy this time. The two types of boats are totally different; the feel, the sound, the winds, the wake, so different. It’s great to be out here in New Zealand’s Islands. Our first choice of islands is Waiheke, a bit touristy but beautiful. Wild blue and white agapanthus grow on the steep hillsides. We are so blessed to have life give us this turn of events with this marvelous boat.
