Rangipukea Island

The morning we woke to was stunning and glassy. This prompted a post coffee paddleboard around the bay for Nathan. He reported back lots of eagle rays which he chased around the shallows. It's amazing how eagle rays can glide along so gracefully before flapping their wings and taking off like a bullet.

Meanwhile, Vela, William and Momo played a game of Bananagrams back on Starling, with Vela taking out the win (pretty standard). Then it was time to start heading back to drop Momo and William off as they could only spare a short (but high quality) time on board.

Afterwards, we motored over to Rangipukea Island where we planned to spend the night. Wet lazed away the afternoon with a bit of fishing. Two legal snapper got added to the freezer and we also caught some extra bait for tomorrow!

We were treated to a beautiful, glassy golden hour as our reward. Nathan took some photos to try and show what it was like, but remarked that photos really couldn't do it justice.Lue lisää
