Saturday 26th November
Friday the winds eased a little and moved southwest, so we made a run back to Whangaparaoa. With a constant 25kts with the occasional 30kt gust, we made good time travelling at up to 7.5kts. To get the best shelter we anchored at Swan beach.
This morning just after breakfast we were greeted by a pod of 2 dozen dolphins. They swam past the boat and around the bay. They stayed and played for about half an hour.
At 10.30 we went ashore to meet Dani and Elo who took us shopping. After shopping they joined us on Imagine for lunch. Elo wanted to go for a swim but after dipping her toe in the water, thought she would wait for a warmer day.
