It’s Carnival season in Germany. For this year Silke and Fabian didn’t need much time to decide what they were going to be. PIRATES obviously… or as Andrew and B call them crew members. After the successful ice cream heist in Colville on Friday, we set sails for Rakino where we spent the night. Saturday morning we head up to Tiritiri, trying some fishing on our way but obviously PIRATES are not so good at fishing so we had chicken Korma.
While Silke and Fabian explored the birds and lighthouse of Tiritiri Island, Andrew and B further painted the outside of Imagine. To make sure the paint stays on, we took off to Swan Bay and got lots of spray and rain on the fresh coat…Now it looks like a leopard dress, anyway it needed a second layer, and that will be for later.
After shopping for veggies and fruits in Whangaparaoa today we took Imagine out at 20 knots of wind to play around with the new steering and head for the ship wreck Bay in Moturekareka. Silke and Fabian were more than happy to take the helm as well and learn more about sailing at high wind.
We arrived there just on time for exploring the beach at low tide, B was hoping for some nice oysters but they were too small and warmed up by the sun.
Finally, as every good Pirate: we had drinks for sunset…Cheers!
