Auckland 01 August 2026 Speedboat Run 奧克蘭 2026 年 8 月 1 日行程 (Boating 出海 – Journeys 旅程)

Setting Sail in the City of Sails

This was David’s first run with in the Southern Hemisphere. The journey began from Hobsonville Marina headed towards the busy Waitematā Harbour in the direction of Half Moon Bay. The run avoided hazard and controlled areas.

The run went underneath the epic, legendary Harbour Bridge. When the family left Auckland at the end of the holiday, they drove above this bridge — reliving, with great emotions and celebration, this fantastic run, the first headed in the direction of the open ocean, to be repeated on subsequent journeys.

The journey went largely smoothly, keeping within the fairway and giving extra care to sailboats, and passing through the Quarantine Zone. It was decided to head back earlier due to either low tide or the detection of unusually low water levels, as a safety measure.

Maximum speed attained was 14.5 knots over this 32 nautical mile journey.

在「千帆之都」啟航

此為馮琰首次在南半球行船。旅程由賀森維爾遊艇碼頭 (Hobsonville Marina) 啟程，往半月灣 (Half Moon Bay) 方向。此程經過繁忙懷特瑪塔港口，並避開風險及管制區域。

航程經由宏偉傳奇港灣大橋，在下方自如穿過。此假期結束時，全家離開奧克蘭之際驅車駛過此橋上方，懷着激動心情重溫並慶祝這首次駛向公海方向航程，並必將日後再度返回這裏，期待下次精彩快艇旅程。

旅程大致順利進行，快艇一致保持在航道內行駛，並格外留意帆船，正常通過隔離管制區。由於途中發現低潮或海水平過低，所以提前返航。

此程全程錄得航程 32 海浬，期間錄得最高航速達 14.5 節。

Skipper’s Notes

船長筆記

Hitherto our boat rentals were on predictable territory, almost always Lake Zürich in Switzerland. A run there was familiar, but never boring. We thought Auckland would be “just another city on the water” but what awaited us was an epic run I will never forget. For the first time, we were handed a speedboat that could easily run at speeds many times faster than in Zürich, and I used this chance to break my personal maximum speed with ease. Everything was both new and familiar to me as a seasoned skipper. What was absolutely most exciting was the way we were headed — straight in the direction of the open ocean, think about it… (although we really did not go far!) To be honest, it was hard getting sleep before this journey as the whole thing was exciting — electrifyingly so, even. A great breakfast of a simple Vegemite sandwich with lots of Anchor butter kept me going for the full six hours — this is now an absolute, permanent pre-run requirement my end. There was a lot of lived experiences and also learning from the water. I certainly want to this again, but as there was a lot that was new to me, my “RTFM” (read the flippin’ manual) attitude meant that I took NASBLA and PCOC online tests and got these licences within days of this run, so my next run would see me much more aware of the rules, and hopefully, a more alert and respectful skipper. — David Feng

我們過去租船範圍均在預留之內，幾乎每次都是瑞士蘇黎世湖。在那裏航行感覺即使十分熟悉，仍從未感到沈悶。我本以為奧克蘭祇是「另一座水上城市」，但等待我們的是一段令我終生難忘航程。我們首次獲發一艘速度比在蘇黎世湖快好幾倍的快艇，而我亦藉着此次機會，輕鬆打破自己此前最高速度紀錄。身為一名有一定經驗船隻，眼前的一切，既新鮮，亦熟悉。當中最令人興奮的，莫過於我們航行方向 — 即朝着公海，想像都會感到震撼，即使沒有航行太遠!… 啟程前一晚我確實很難入眠，因非常期待此段旅程。啟航早晨，一份塗滿安佳牛油 (Anchor butter) 及簡單維吉麥 (Vegemite) 三文治早餐支持我整整六個小時航程 — 這份早餐現已固定我每次出海前必備儀式。此段航程讓我積攢許多寶貴經驗，同時亦「向大海學習」，個人非常希望再次出海。當時，由於有太多新事物，自己又覺得「讀一讀『真』出海說明書」，即以嚴謹態度決定在此次出海後少日內報考並取得美國 NASBLA 及加拿大線上快艇執照，令我下次出海前了解更多行船規則，以成為一名更有警覺又更尊重海洋的船隻。— 馮琰
