Up Creek With 1 Paddle

Arrived at the waihaha beach and the crossing of the river bar was interesting. Had to hop out and drag it up the river. Well worth it with a lovely mooring completely protected from the elements.

As we came up spotted a large brown trout that will be dinner.

What a great place.

Dinner At The Lake

Well this was a treat. We pulled up at the Lakeland House and had a superb dinner there before wading back to the boat to sleep.

Off to an early start we left Waihi Bay. As we were leaving a brave soul on a SUP board grabbed the mooring line we were dragging behind to clean for a SUPski. We wanted to have a look at the Turangi Yacht Club. What a great location. Nobody home so we carried on our journey

Velera Origins

We have been asked a few times what type of boat is she. Well here is the full spec sheet. Designed in 1968 for Lake Taupō she is great to sail in the short choppy waves you can drag her up a small River and is a good Allrounder.
