If a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor, then Nikki is in luck. While there are balmy days exploring the coast, there are also days when the sea is in turmoil, the wind is on the nose and their yacht is bouncing like a bath toy.
Nikki and her husband Phil, need to bring their old yacht from New Zealand to Australia, but first they have to negotiate New Zealand's rugged East Coast from Napier to Cape Reinga. It's a trip designed to test even the most experienced sailor, and Nikki can't tell a boom from a jib.
Nikki and her husband Phil, need to bring their old yacht from New Zealand to Australia, but first they have to negotiate New Zealand's rugged East Coast from Napier to Cape Reinga. It's a trip designed to test even the most experienced sailor, and Nikki can't tell a boom from a jib.
As Phil expertly plots the course, steers the ship, and trims the sails, Nikki begins the sailing trip of a lifetime more bilious than a rabbit on a roller-coaster, and more like cargo than crew.
Phil is great at smoothing over problems and fixing everything from tangled ropes to broken fan belts, but even he can't control the weather. With a cyclone looming, reaching Australia seems unlikely especially when simply getting from one town to another becomes a daunting challenge.
Embark on this voyage with Nikki and Phil as they embark on the sailing trip of a lifetime.
