All supplies on board ....... Leaving marina for a long weekend. Destination: West Bay Rakino. Winds on the nose so not optimal for putting up the sails .... Motuihe Channel was a bit of a challenge with 2m waves! A wee bit of stress for Dan when the engine sudden died in the large swells along the coast of Rangitoto. Springing into action he discovered the issue and managed to get us underway again. Once around the the end of Motutapu Island and on the last leg to Rakino the winds started to settle. Czytaj więcej

Finally ......when approaching the bay the winds had totally died and we were able to find a great spot to anchor..... and only 2 other boats in the bay! Anchor down it was relaxing and rum time! A stunning sunset was the reward ! Czytaj więcej

Woke up to a stunning day. Spent the morning relaxing and enjoying a quiet bay. How cool to be one of 3 boats in a bay!

Time for adventure .... Dingy put in water and made ready .... and off we go.

First stop ... Three sisters and then over the bay and around the corner to Woody Bay. The challenge on ... avoiding the rocks...some easy to see, some hidden and a challenge!
Water is very clear around the rocks. Even found an 'Pirate House"

Opportunity for photography..... love the challenge to get "the shot" while on the move, bouncing on the waves, lighting and choosing the right settings! But managed a couple of goodies. Czytaj więcej
