Cruising with no limits

Marina YE is currently playing host to New Zealanders Bruce and Gina Blayney aboard their yacht Karinya.

Karinya, a Tayana 37 designed by Bob Perry, is on an extended world cruise with no time limit.

Bruce and Gina departed New Zealand last November bound for Hobart. After enjoying Hobart and exploring the east coast of Tasmania Karinya set sail for Melbourne and Marina YE which they have made their base during winter.

In early November they will set sail for West Australia for an extended stay before heading to Mauritius then on to South Africa. After South Africa it is around the Cape of Good Hope and off to Brazil then a cruise up the east coast of the Americas then back across the Atlantic to Europe.

After Europe they will head west again and through the Panama Canal and home to New Zealand with perhaps a cruise up the West Coast of America before crossing the Pacific.

Bruce and Gina are impressed with Melbourne and the close proximity of Marina YE to the city centre. They both agree that Melbourne has so much to see and do and will leave with great memories of their stay here.
