- Ep 4 - Solo up the East Coast of New Zealand to the Great Barrier Island
Send us Fan Mail
A four day solo sail from Picton in the South Island of New Zealand to The Great Barrier Island in the North Island of New Zealand. I get pushed along in a 50 knot Southerly Buster.
Three days of big seas, storm conditions and dodging ships in the middle of the night. My journy started in perfect calm conditions and thats what I had for the last 2 days. Becalmed, I motor the last day or about 36hrs of the journey.
Trying to find a sailmaker to repair my main and a super market to provision for the journey ahead.
I also have a nagging question. What country to sail to and where to leave from in New Zealand, and what is Whangarei.Support the show

Its now or never, I woke to the perfect day and the gods are smiling upon TinTin. Now I just need to workout how to get around the 20m motorcruiser blocking my exit and fuel up before I lose the tide.
Crew would be nice in this situation, trying to squeeze TinTin between superyachts and around expensive vessels by yourself is a real challenge, but no crew today or for the next couple of weeks.Support the show

Send us Fan Mail
Today is cold there is ice on the ground, the first signs of winter. I have just rebuild my large autopilot. The weather forecasts for a sail toTahitti are not great and have been terrible for the last 6 weeks. Picton has turned bitterly cold which makes living on a yacht less desirable, I don't do cold anymore.
Rianne my girlfriend has just left for Holland after we explored the South Island, so again solo, I have a small window to sail North on the back of a strong Southerly weather system, if I miss that window I may be trapped in Picton for the next couple of weeks. There is a massive storm building. Escape North and maybe wait for better weather in Opua, its also a little warmer 600nm to the North.Support the show

About Solo Sailing with Trev White
From the publisher's feed
Experience the reality of solo and short-handed sailing on the big blue ocean, as well as some of the problems that can crush our cruising life.
Do you fear solo sailing? I know so…
many cruising sailors who have become solo sailors, many just not by choice. Injuries, arguments, and life can leave you and your vessel stranded in some of the most beautiful and dangerous places on Earth.
Learning to sail your yacht solo is a skill every sailor should master. This removes the anxiety of having no crew, you gain a true sense of freedom, and you also gain skills every sailor should have.
I'm a veteran retired from active service exploring new opportunities to learn, teach and grow. I'm now sailing around Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands on my Dutch Built 44ft Alloy Ketch. I have over 30 years of extensive experience conducting and teaching water operations in the Australian special forces, I use what I have learned to make sailing safer.
I sail many of the passages solo, other times sailing with an assortment of crew, some young and some young at heart. People who hitch a lift, learn to sail, or just want to explore exotic locations.
Safe Sailing, see you out there.
Best Regards Trev
