Monday morning after a swim and breakfast Silke and Fabian explored the shipwreck in the bay, while B and I did a few jobs on Imagine. It was nearly lunch time when they came back and we were ready to haul anchor. We motored across to Beehive Island and had a picnic on the beach. We left the island, heading into deeper water to try fishing. Again there were lots of little ones but no keepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bostaquet bay on Kawau Island was sheltered from the wind and swell. We thought we were going to have the bay to ourselves, but no. In came The Beast. A 131ft twin hull launch and its 39ft tender. Michael Hill (a famous NZ jeweler) named it The Beast because it was not a pretty boat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday morning after some stretching on deck, Silke and Fabian went off in the kayak to explore the bay. By the time they got back the wind had got up and it was time to move. A short trip around the corner took us to Mansion House Bay where we chilled out for the rest of the day. It was interrupted by a trip to shore for an Ice-cream and a couple of swims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning B tried to fix the paint cracks caused by the crain strap while they hauled Imagine back in the water and the other two went hiking on Kawau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again the afternoon was chilling and swimming, B created one unique piece to add to her shells jewelry collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This evening started with a facial mask for everyone (courtesy from Fabian and Silke). Followed by a glass of Mo\u00ebt et Chandon Champagne…Happy Valentines Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
