Paul and I picked Xavier up from Russell on Wednesday, He arrived in Paihia on the bus and ferried over to Russell. We stayed the night in Uruti Bay and then on Thursday morning made a dash for the outer bay. The wind had piped up even by 8.30am so going around Tapeka Point with a 1.5 metre swell and 20knots was pretty cool.
We made it to Opunga Bay by 10am and had a late breakfast, we have since spent the time waiting for the wind to die down a bit. Tomorrow we are off to Roberton Island snorkelling, hopefully it will be nice weather. Not much luck on the fishing front, perhaps I am not holding my mouth right.

The photo is a sunset in Opunga Bay, the yacht is the Te Tainui. They happened to be anchored next to us so got in the photo.

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCool picture. Only three weeks now till I go on my 7 week adventure in the camper. Will be solo for four weeks till Owen catches up. He couldn't get holidays. The quote by Johann sums up life really well. Must be a bit different with the three of you on board. Good family time.
