Sunday 19th March
Yesterday after a swim and breakfast we set off from Farmer Bay to explore Beehive Island at low tide. The island had a lot of interesting rock formations and rock pools.
After a quick trip across to Moturekareka we snorkelled the wreck and then set sail for Tindalls beach where we caught up with Darren, Chrissy and Andrew’s Dad. It was then shopping time. Time to restock the fresh fruit and veg and the wine cellar.
This morning we set off for Tiritiri Matangi Island after our morning swim and breakfast. Tiritiri is a bird sanctuary. They have reforrested the island and reintroduced a lot of NZ birdlife. Mike was also interested in checking out the lighthouse (the oldest working lighthouse in NZ).
This afternoon we had a leisurely sail across to Waiheke Island and have anchored at Opopoto Bay for the night.
