Lady Crossley @ home in the BOI
A Woody Trip Up The Coast
Just before Christmas I buddied up with Jamie Hudson to take Jamie’s classic launch – Lady Crossley to her summer home in the Bay of Islands.
Jamie and I have a great track record when it comes to long hauls and the weather, so once again we enjoyed perfect conditions. We were in no hurry so the trip was broken into – Kawau Island > Urquhart Bay (Whangarei Head) > BOI.
Above is a gallery of photos from the trip – as always food was a major component of the trip 🙂
Enjoy the photos – didn’t see a lot of other woodys, but there appears to be a good representation on the replica f/glass Logan 33 launches in the Bay.
Photo below of Russell’s waterfront – have not been there for a long time – I’ll be back, soon, its a great spot.

Alan, Compliments of the season to you. Thanks for your daily epistles, always interesting. Keep them coming! Lady Crossley is certainly a beautiful launch. Cheers Bryce

The road in Russell has been far from wet since Christmas

Brought back many memories of my frequent trips to the BOI on 5 different yachts between 1960 and 2003.
