    Schedule of cruising boat destinations In Northland –Version 2 with council amendments © Prepared by Richard Brown on behalf of Auckland Yacht and Boating Association – September 2014 Amendments by Michael Payne –Policy Analyst, Ross Waters – Maritime Officer and Peter Thomas - Marine Officer Auckland Yacht and Boating Association would like to acknowledge the following sources of information Royal Akarana Yacht Club Coastal Cruising handbook Hauraki Gulf Boaties Atlas Lynn and Graeme Brown (Adamite) Pickmere Atlas of Northland’s East Coast Google Earth Doug Smeale Derry Godbert Port Opua – A Cruisers guide Notes for database of Northlands East Coast Bays Because of the very high number of bays on this coastline we have included only those which are potential anchorages. Consequently there are relatively few graded 1. Many bays are exposed to the Ocean and are thus generally unsuitable as overnight anchorages. They may however still be popular daytime anchorages with boats returning to more sheltered waters over night. Several bays have more than one name. Where we have identified them the extra names have been included but there are probably several bays whose alternative names have not been included. Every bay has been given a grading 1-3. These classifications are as follows-: 1 = Infrequently used as an anchorage either because of poor shelter, overcrowding moorings or better anchorages nearby. 2 = Popular anchorage – this could vary from a few boats in a small bay to many boats in a larger one. 3 = Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather – usually also popular in times of lighter winds of appropriate direction 3*= Strategic anchorage in that it is heavily relied on during bad weather but particularly popular as an anchorage.
