Welcome to VoyagerTide77 Memories! This is one of my favourite memories from several years ago. It was the very first time I launched my little Nifty boat in New Zealand after receiving a wonderful Honda outboard engine as a gift from a very good friend from Japan. Like any first adventure, I was still learning. At one point, the engine stopped because I had forgotten to open the fuel tank air vent! Thankfully, it was an easy fix, and I continued enjoying a beautiful day cruising around the stunning Marlborough Sounds. I also tried fishing in a few different places without any luck, but something even more incredible happened. While quietly drifting near Ngakuta Bay, I had my very first close encounter with a pod of wild dolphins. They swam peacefully right past my boat, creating a memory I will never forget. Looking back at this footage reminds me why I love exploring New Zealand and recording these special moments. A huge thank you once again to our dear friend from Japan for such a generous gift. This little outboard made many unforgettable adventures possible. Thank you very much for watching, and I hope you enjoy this memory as much as I enjoyed living it. 📍 Ngakuta Bay & Marlborough Sounds 🇳🇿 New Zealand This video brings back so many wonderful memories! 00:00 Unforgettable Memory that I Love to Share! 00:14 First Time Launching My Boat 01:40 First Time Outboard Start 01:45 Cruising the Beautiful Marlborough Sounds 03:18 Rookie Mistake with the Outboard! 03:57 Thank You, My Friend from Japan 05:18 Fishing Without Luck 05:34 Thinking About Returning with My Wife 05:54 Thinking to visit Lochmara Lodge 06:11 One Last Stop Near Ngakuta Bay 06:30 Wild Dolphins Appear! 06:50 An Incredible Experience 07:01 The End & Special Thanks to My Friend!
