Anchored at Colville Bay on the NW side of Coromandel south of Port Fitzroy which is meant to be not good for an overnight. Will head for Great Barrier tomorrow but it is very beautiful here with the spectacular backdrop of high hills. And the attraction of two shops with ice cream,

Anchored at Ponui Island in between Auckland and the Coromandel as we were trying to get to Coromandel and ran into strong winds as we left late on Monday. Will be stuck here by the look of the forecast so may divert to great Barrier when the seas get acceptable to the crew. You cannot go walkabout on this island so cabin fever may set in earlier than normal
