You bet your bippie. This was one of the best trips we've ever taken. Cape Lookout is amazing. What the trip lacked in duration it gained in pure awesomeness! And we spent the 4th of July in Banks Channel in Wrightsville Beach. The day was crazy with boat traffic, but we were anchored and the fireworks show was worth it. Even though we don't like crowds we really enjoyed ourselves and we might do it again next year..Cape Lookout?
As I have stated before I have not seen anywhere on the planet I would rather be, on land or on the water, than the Pacific Northwest from Puget Sound up through SE Alaska. My three most favorite big cities (so far) are, in order, London, Paris, and Beijing but a very close fourth is Vancouver.
But while I think the PNW has the best boating on the planet, there are two other areas that I think I would find almost as unique, interesting, and challenging. They are the northeast coast from Maine on up through the Canadian maritimes, and the Great Lakes.

However, point of order...you would not find the South Island of NZ hot at all. It has a very temperate climate, even in Summer.
I'm in the minority but to me sunrises are much more special than sunsets.being on the water as the sun rises is great.
