I have arrived! I just dropped anchor in Butler bay, Mangonui. This isn't actually bay of islands, I decided to go further north to make the trip a better test. According to my log book, I departed coromandel 1500 two days ago, and I just dopped anchor here at 1539, so that is ~49 hours sailing!
I also caught a really big fish and I'm gonna eat some of it then sit down and tell you all of my adventures.
