Dinghy Cruising - Lake Manapouri NZ
This video shows an overnight sailing mission on Lake Manapouri in a Welsford Navigator. Manapouri, part of the Te Wahi Pounamu World Heritage Area, is New Zealand's second deepest lake. It's glacial history has left steep sides and hundreds of rounded granite islands to explore.
Good cruising notes for Manapouri can be found on the Otago Trailer Yacht Squadron website sporty.co.nz/OTYS/Cruising-1/Cruising-Guides# and
While waiting for the wind to ease on Day 1, we set off from the public boat ramp in Pearl Harbor and spent several hours sailing down the Waiau River to the dam. We then motored back up to the lake and poked our nose around Stoney Point, but the open part of the lake was rough and it was getting late, so we retreated and found good hammock camping at the head of Surprise Bay.
Next morning we motored around Stoney Point to Holmwood Island and paddled through the narrow gap into the island's amazing lagoon. Then we explored the islands and reefs from there to Mahara Island before landing for lunch and a swim on a mainland beach in Circle Cove. It was an open fire season, so Squirt lit the Firebox stove to make a drink.
By early afternoon we had some gentle sailing in light airs. As we headed back, a local tour boat passed us at full steam and literally left us in their wake. We guess that's because Tusk under sail is such a fine sight. The wind then picked up from the NW, giving us a fast run over the last couple of kilometres to the river mouth and Pearl Harbour.
