The only place that we didn't get to together was Welly, although I've been there for work a number of times. Also loved the South Island - the Catlins in particular were fabulous!

However, it can also come with some downsides - like when the wind is kicking up and you worry that you'll drag anchor and end up on the shore or when there is a big swell which causes the boat to rock back and forth making it difficult to sleep. But the good definitely outweighs the bad and it is a great way to see new places!The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-32951322586153803932014-07-08T13:11:35.759-07:002014-07-08T13:11:35.759-07:00Oh my god, you are living my dream of traveling by...Oh my god, you are living my dream of traveling by sailboat. How are you liking it? I just love the adventurous sound of it--and sailing is so fun! I've also really wanted to try a river cruise. It sounds like such an old folks type of thing to do, but I imagine you get to see so many beautiful, less-tourist-y places.<br />-Rachel @ <a href="http://withlove-rachel.com" rel="nofollow"> With Love, Rachel </a>Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462804060646159589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-4821964920010744752014-07-08T11:38:14.574-07:002014-07-08T11:38:14.574-07:00Its a good thing we both like to travel - probably...Its a good thing we both like to travel - probably one of the reasons we've been married so long :-)The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-28445406111192656812014-07-08T08:54:03.441-07:002014-07-08T08:54:03.441-07:00I am so jealous of all of your travels!
