bringing your own ocean vessel ?

​

you may be able to anchor out front of Medlands Beach if the weather is ideal, otherwise you will need to make sure you anchor on a mooring at Tryphena or Whangaparapara - which are slim pickings because of the seaweed rules right now... - and the other option is anchoring in Port Fitzroy, which is 45 minutes drive from the north of the island to Medlands, in the south.

​

accommodation

 

the party will be held at a site near Kaitoke and Medlands Beach, which is on the east coast, slightly south and approximately 10 minutes drive from the airport in Claris (the centre of the island).​
