This morning, once the sun warmed the cool morning air, we went to stretch our legs and get some exercise walking to the top of Flagstaff Hill in Russell. We took these photos to share those magical winter moments with you.

The winter solstice is behind us, the days are getting longer, which means summer is on its way. We are all looking forward to the coming sailing season in the Bay of Islands. This year is expected to be an exciting year for tourism in New Zealand, with the Rugby World Cup being held in September-October and a host of special events and attractions planned for the spring and summer throughout the country. If you are planning to travel in New Zealand during September to November, be sure to make your reservation early as there will be an influx of sports fans and their families everywhere. Freewind is already starting to fill up cabins for the beginning of the season and we’d love to hear from you if you would like to find out more about our trips and itineraries (email freewind[at]sailbayofislands.com).
Until then, we’ll keep you posted on Freewind’s whereabouts in the South Pacific and her return trip to New Zealand.
