What this video covers

The crew of the 30-ft Alberg 30 sloop Triteia cruises Whangaroa Harbour in New Zealand, utilising the area as a base for hiking and boat maintenance.0:25 The crew hikes to St. Paul’s Rock, a steep trail requiring the use of fixed chains for the final ascent.1:13 While anchored in Whangaroa Harbour, the crew experiences 15- to 18-knot winds followed by calm conditions, which they use for swimming in the harbour's strong tidal currents.10:57 Before departing for Te Rere Bay, the captain inspects the 80-horsepower engine’s sail drive for freshwater leaks and replaces the zincs on the propeller while anchored in clear water.12:50 The vessel then relocates to Lane Cove, anchoring in six metres over mud with excellent holding.20:26 From this position, the crew hikes to the Duke’s Nose, a short but steep 20-minute climb from a nearby tramper’s hut.25:13 The harbour features a narrow entrance cut that opens into a large, protected body of water suitable for anchoring.25:33
