Friday 2nd December
\nYesterday we said goodbye to Cindy and she flew back to California. Later in the day we picked up Tamara and Raphael, a young couple from Switzerland, who are cycling around NZ.
\nThe 15kt winds gave them their first taste of boat life when leaving the shore heading for Imagine. The wind was pushing half metre waves onto the shore. This meant getting into the dinghy was fun. Once in, waves still sprayed over the dinghy as we made our way to Imagine.
\nThis morning after breakfast we set sail to explore the islands in the Hauraki Gulf. It didn’t take long for Tamara to experience all about sailing, helming, watching dolphins and throwing up over the side. She will have to take sea sick pills on a morning!
\nThat made us decide to head for the closest bay, Waikalabubu bay on the northern side of Motutapu. After lunch Andrew took Raphael and Tamara to shore to hike one of the many tracks.<\/div>\n\n\n
