Monday 16th
We had big ideas of getting up early and going across to Russel and do some shopping before going back to Opua and fuel up. Nobody woke up early. When we awoke the water was like glass, not even a whisper of wind. We had breakfast in the cockpit then hauled anchor and headed to Opua while there was no wind.
We had to wait a few minutes outside the marina for a boat to move off the fuel dock. Then we glided in and tied off Imagine. Thats when we discovered a sign on the pump saying out of order. We had waisted time and fuel motoring back to Opua to find we can’t fill up.
We pulled out of the marina and motored across to Robertson island. During the day there was a few tourist boats came and went leaving us the bay/island to ourselves. We went ashore to walk the beach and climb to the lookout before returning to Imagine to do a little fishing, play cards and watch a movie.
