It’s great to see the charter vessel R Tucker sailing every day in the Bay of Islands..   A lovely sight indeed.  It is super that sailing skills  required for this type of boat are being kept alive.

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.

    Thanks for your comments Colin! Yes, keeping traditional marlinspike skills alive is an important part of our focus. For your information, the crew will be at Pompallier Mission in Russell showing knot tying skills every Tuesday afternoon in January – see schedule for information http://ow.ly/7ObDI has the calendar of events. Otherwise if you are down at the wharf and you see the skipper do feel free to pop down and take a look around.
