Amy organized a full-day catamaran sailing trip in Abel Tasman for 19 of us a few weeks back, and today was the day for it. We had absolutely amazing weather – clear, not too hot, and just enough wind to keep the boat going without the sea being too choppy.One of the other girls on the trip organized a pirate theme for the day, which seemed to terrify our skipper a bit, but he did let us on, eye patches and foil-covered cardboard swords and all.
We visited Split Apple Rock (a famous huge boulder that looks like it was sliced in half), spent some time on an island (where, unfortunately, the carcass of a little blue penguin was bobbing up and down in the surf), explored tidal caves, played Frisbee in the water, and just soaked up the sun from the trampoline deck of the catamaran. The water was unbelievable, as clear and blue as the glacial Blue Pools we saw along the West Coast.
