Laundry at Oke Bay

Ahh one of the great joys of cruising is doing the washing on a stony beach under a free flowing fresh water stream.   Tonnes of water for rinsing and no restrictions on supply.. . This is a repeat of many occasions.  Not quite warm enough to shower.  Read too cowardly to cool off.  Almost at Deep Water Cove, Oke bay also has a nice mussel supply at the entrance, but one has to be careful to take only the smallest.   This is not Abel Tasman where a good feed is available at low water – the mussels have to be dived on in the BOI.

About Colin Lowe

Hi I not living aboard our boat. I started this blog when cruising the upper North Is. In Sept 2012 my wife and I started work as caretakers in the Bay of Islands. You could say it is a dream job for us, and our boat is moored just off our worksite. My family (wife and two daughters) circumnavigated the globe several years back. Back in Nelson, while the girls went to uni and my wife drove tour buses I odd jobbed and maintained our boat. Now it is maintain properties and the boat during time off. This blog gives me practice in keeping up writing skills.
