aardvarkash10 1,139 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Update please - we are on our way this afternoon, arriving around 8.30pm. Is it crowded, or acceptable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So how was it? Note spelling Chamberlins Bay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aardvarkash10 1,139 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 stopped early at Oranga Bay. Very pleasant here now - no-one else here. Out of the swell and wind. Done three laps of the yacht, its time for lunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Ta for spelling. Seems there are two versions. The family there still goes by Chamberlin I think. Pleased Oranga Bay is good. Feeling jealous and cut off from my boat until my stolen dinghy gets replaced. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 698 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Funny how Chamberlains is called Chamberlains now days,it was always referred to as North Harbour by the olds and myself,not to be confused with North Cove Kawau,same same shag rock of Rotoroa not the same as Shag Island, Tiritiri Matangi. Then we got same saying at Te Kouma and others referring to Sugar loaf (coromandel Harbour)ramp area TeKouma ramp. Confusing I know,can see why Coastguard keep repeating themselves when asking questions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 244 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 That's funny because I was wondering where the hell Oranga Bay was. Always known it as Shark Bay. My daughter always wanted to know why it was called Shark Bay,. Could never think of a good story to tell her. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winter 42 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Left Bon accord when the rain stopped, great sailing down to Blackpool in time for dinner ashore.
