[status] We left Opua this afternoon after spending two nights at the marina. We said final farewells to friends who came back home to NZ and those who are spending the summer here as part of there travels around the world. We have come to a bay South of Whangaruru Harbour, called Mimiwhangata Bay. We have travelled past this spot lots of times, but never stopped in. This bay is a Coastal Park and just lovely. We will definitely return some other time. We are planning on getting to Buckleton Beach tomorrow late afternoon and wake up early Sunday morning to watch the ABs beat Australia!!!!! GO THE ALL BLACKS.[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
