Was to be an easy day today, sailing up to Moturoa island, and through Kent passage from Russell. We had a good run, but with increasing wind on the nose, we were forced to pull into a very nice bay on the western side of Kents passage, and reef the sails. We decided it had picked up enough to have two reefs and the storm jib up. Once we were sailing through the passage, we found it perfect, as we trucked upwind and once out of the passage, found we had good 5 knots of speed upwind, and as we got further up towards Purerua Peninsula, we could see the bay where Kerikeri cruising club is to the west and Wairoa bay to the right. We stayed in Wairoa for the night, around 10 other boats.
