In Urquharts Bay

Staying at the Whangarei Marina for a few days for some city life. Very cool place for yachties, easy to get around and marina right in town.

At a really cool bay called Smoke house bay which is a real treat for the sailors, hot showers, washing machines a pizza oven and fish smokers. Awesome!

Heading to Great Barrier Island

Stayed in Coromandal bay last night, but to shallow, so moving around to Long bay.

Leaving Colville and heading to Long Bay

Heading to Kawau Island again to do some bush walks

In Man-o-war bay.
Had to wait a day for the winery to open so we can hit it tomorrow :-)

Sweet anchorage on Oneroa Bay, leaving tomorrow to start a circumnavigation around Waiheke over the next week or so.

Spent a week in Auckland where Paul did a Cat 1 first aid and sea survival course.

Had a fantastic anchorage last night, in Shark bay, Kawau Bay, was like being on land, didn't move a bit. Heading to Auckland today, will take about 5 hours to sail there.

Anchored at shark bay, lovely evening
