[@davidmiller2179]

New Zealand most beautiful place on the earth thanks for your video.

[@annekedenhartigh2998]

Prachtig! Leuk om jullie ontmoet te hebben op de bruiloft!

[@fordfalconkings31]

Hello darlings from Greatcircle... I hope to see you all if a stop in Auckland is on the cards. I am a huge fan of Greatcircle xox.

[@chrisshields1775]

Lovely film. I was luck enough to visit New Zealand in 1992 for 4 weeks and loved the country, What a fantastic house your friend has overlooking the Bay of Islands.

[@CatGreatcircle]

It’s really fantastic even with 5 rooms and a pool one level down and it might even be for sale….

[@buggy318]

Hi Crew, so many beautiful Places, great. THX for this episode!

[@alfreddaniels3817]

Beautiful images, especially from the drone. Didn’t know the weather could be like this. On pictures it’s always sunny 😀😀

[@CatamaranImpi]

So nice to see you guys at the dock . We are sorry we didn’t get to spend time with you and hope we see you down the track ❤

[@CatGreatcircle]

We seem to be going to Whangarei as well…

[@virtus27]

Wow 😊 sehr berührendes Video! Einfach nur geil 🤩 viel Spaß noch 👍

[@MissBlanik]

Danke Robert :-) schöne Grüße!

[@bigbopper143]

Perfect temperatures and breathtaking scenery. Only the very lucky or cashed up need apply 👈

[@kelleypeacham1684]

Welcome to NZ once more, we have just started following you both and love your catamaran! Enjoy sailing in NZ with the challenging weather, the remoteness, raw beauty and little surprises along the way. As New Zealanders and new sailing/cruisers of 5 years we have seen a different side of our country via water and love every minute we are onboard. Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@mosca3289]

Cool to see all the friendly boats arriving into port.

[@ahminmabed5166]

Thanks guys. Seeing this video reminded me of how cold NZ summers are. Beautiful country, beautiful people, a lot of crap weather 😁. Keep the awesome videos coming

[@taniac1860]

It’s not summer in New Zealand yet. The warmer weather doesn’t start until January in general, but the warmest months are February and March.

[@ahminmabed5166]

@@taniac1860 Kek...C'mon Kiwi m8, NZ doesn't get a real summer. This video reminds me of the 6 summers I spent at Mt Maunganui. The last summer's 16* average temp was enough for me to move to Queensland...lowering NZ's IQ in the process 🤣

[@reginaldhenry3688]

I just found your channel, I love it so does my wife, we're in the market for a catamaran and an Outremer at that we have a four-year wait though so we just have to carry on with our current boat. Hope to see more of your amazing content, keep up the good work.

[@CatGreatcircle]

With so many slots sold you might get lucky and get an earlier one. Especially if you’re aiming at the less popular ones in the European fall or winter

[@MrAjayz]

Great to see my home country again.. I have t been home to New Zealand in over three years (Covid and other reasons) unfortunately it’s spring and there for a lot of unsettled weather.

[@CatGreatcircle]

There is, but still very very nice to be here

[@robertlaird6746]

New Zealand is a beautiful place. It's on my list of places to visit.

[@CatGreatcircle]

It should!

[@brettgraham1966]

Spring in NZ can be challenging 😄 can expect any and all type of weather, even on the same day, but will get better and better 👍😄 Looks like you’re having a great time though 👍

[@CatGreatcircle]

It’s perfect, blue skies in Kerikeri now

[@vokstar]

Nice touch they put shoes on the dog. Cheers for the vid :D

[@andywarneford1073]

Kia ora! Haere mai, welcome to Aotearoa :) I've loved catching up with your channel. I'm on the Coromandel with an FP. If you're down this way and want to check out some local spots by boat or land let me know!! :)

[@CatGreatcircle]

Thanks Andy!

[@kostasvasilopoulos4468]

i m surprised with the weather...its end of spring beginning of summer....enjoy it anyway

[@CatGreatcircle]

Especially if you compare the latitude to the northern hemisphere it’s incredibly cold and rainy, the kiwis say this is not normal for them

[@realulli]

Running into Impi.. nice! I've been subscribed to them for longer than I I've been to you... :-)

[@CatGreatcircle]

Real pioneers!

[@wrxh8r]

Everyone seems to miss Whangaroa Harbour just around the corner. :p

[@DoubleUThings]

Wat een schitterend landschap. Zo te zien niet echt warm meer, maar ook dat heeft wel iets :-) Groetz,' Wim

[@CatGreatcircle]

Koud man maar dat heeft ook te maken met het contrast met het hele voorafgaande jaar. Zelfde breedtegraad als waar jij zit ongeveer

[@taniac1860]

It’s still spring, summer doesn’t really start until late December. All the best weather is yet to come 😊

[@lifesailinc-lsi1120]

That bay is on my list. Spend time usually more S good shots

[@MK-gr9qz]

Really nice👍

[@Papaondas]

nice to see a symbol of the Portuguese sailing culture "Peter café" at the Portugal antipodes NZ

[@CatGreatcircle]

You recognized it, it’s from our west-east Atlantic crossing in 2020. Elisa hopes to get her own in 24.

[@EnglishLawyer]

Don't you just love the booties on the NZ Custom's Dog so it won't cause damage to the interior flooring?

[@EricVanDerValk_sv.Falcon]

👍

[@lifesailinc-lsi1120]

where in Whangarei are you? my friend Renate could say hi she has much local knowledge in case you need any. (she was the first german woman firefighter in the 80's)

[@CatGreatcircle]

We’re alongside on the pier before the marina office upstream

[@paulhoefnagels647]

Beetje thuiskomen daar, niet? Wat een prachtig land.

[@CatGreatcircle]

Super hier maar de stoom komt er inderdaad wel vanaf door de afkoeling..

[@paulhoefnagels647]

@@CatGreatcircle Hoe lang blijven jullie daar? Wil eind feb weer die kant op gaan.

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀👍👍❤

[@popescupaulica5908]

Why you don't show us the prices from the restaurants, so we could make an idea of the costs of life?

[@CatGreatcircle]

No pictures allowed here in the comments but a Tokyo Mule in 8 in Whangarei costs 18 dollars (nzd). Really hope this will help you in your decision to come over or not

[@murphyrp01]

Surely Elise is your daughter???

[@CatGreatcircle]

She could be or?

[@murphyrp01]

She looks like she is but I haven’t picked up she was.

[@ronbumbera6229]

Are Nina and Mario not sailing together anymore?

[@CatGreatcircle]

That’s more a question for them Ron

[@tonybase7887]

No life jackets?in dingys.

[@CatGreatcircle]

No peanut butter? In the jar.
