My ‘man’ in New Zealand sent me this link to a YouTube film he made whilst aboard Whimbrel back in 2012 – I’ve seen it before but not been able to post a link, so here it is.

It was taken during a gentle sail up Benfleet Creek on a sluggish afternoon tide with a sky that began to look threatening after a short time. Lightning danced away to the south of us in a spectacular fashion, yet left us in splendid isolation with a gentle zephyr wafting us along. Enjoy.

There are a number of short films from the good chap to look at of little craft around the creeks near his home on the North Island near Auckland…
