Congratulations! I've always wanted a boat.

I got a 404 off your route, though. I'd like to see it.

Maybe this will work?

This was the destination, sailed from Island Bay, directly south.

Cool! Can you go to Christmas Beach?

Sure, Herald Island is close by. What's at Christmas beach? I've heard there's a good boat ramp at Greenhithe, that would put me in the water right next to Herald.

Nothing in particular. It was whimsically named. Plus you can go potentially go under that motorway, and it looks like there's park space.

Yes, I can sail under that motorway. That's called the "upper harbour bridge", not as big and fancy as the main one (I'm looking forward to sailing under that one, near the downtown area).

You can see the upper harbour bridge in one of my pics, the first one of the set taken from the shore.

This one. Herald Island is the land you see on the other side of that bridge.

Nice! I've wanted a boat forever. Enjoy it.
