Sunday 4th December
We woke to a beautiful day, with sun shining and a light breeze. After breakfast we sailed around the corner to the southern side of Motutapu. Once anchored in Islington Bay, Raphael and Tamara were off to climb Rangitoto, Auckland’s largest dormant volcano.
They returned about 3pm, just enough time to motor across to Motuihe where we spent the night.
This morning we went ashore and walked the island and read all about its history. By the time we returned to Imagine the bay was quite choppy so we headed off to find a sheltered bay on Waiheke Island.
On the way we got a call from Darren (Andrew’s brother), he was taking his boat for a run, so we arranged to meet at Oneroa Bay. After spending half an hour with Darren we continued on our way to Hook Bay on Waiheke.
Just as we set off Andrew slipped and broke his little toe. That hasn’t stopped us. Once anchored in Hooks Bay and after a very quick swim, we thought we might try and hook a fish. But it’s steak for dinner.
