Sunday 5th February<\/div>\n

B was up early this morning, out on deck doing her stretches and exercise. After breakfast we were off. Not far, just around the corner to Islington bay. That’s where Andrew and B went ashore on Rangitoto.<\/div>\n

It was the first time B had climbed a volcano. Rangitoto is a dormant volcano (not extinct). Scientists say it’s not IF but WHEN it will next explode.
Without a thought we headed up the volcano. It took about an hour and many photos to reach the top. From the top you can see from Whangaparaoa to Auckland and out east to Waiheke Island.<\/div>\n

Upon returning to Imagine we had lunch then motored back to Home Bay where we spent last night. The afternoon was spent boat watching and fishing (we had steak for dinner).<\/div>\n

A couple on a nearby boat rowed across to see if we could charge their phone. We talked and showed them through Imagine while their phone charged. They were a local couple that were taking the boat out to see what needed doing to it before they bought it.<\/div>\n\n\n
