The boat’s name is “Tiama,” which means “Standing Still” to the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand.
There’s a sailboat at the Bay of Islands Yacht Club that’s come all the way from the Netherlands. Frozen in the bay for the winter, a couple from the Netherlands has been making this place a second home. Bonnie (Bunny) McDiamond is originally from New Zealand and Hank Haazan was born in the Netherlands. They joined Bayfm’s Terry Boland last week and Haazen talked about what brought them to this area. They met Gavin French and his wife, who spoke very highly of this area. The boat’s name is “Tiama,” which means “Standing Still” to the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand. Haazen built the boat himself, which is now 35 years old. The couple plans to sail the Northwest Passage next, up the coast of Canada ending up in Alaska. They plan to start the journey around the middle of next month.
