As you may recall, our first journey involved sailing across to beautiful Woody Bay at Rakino Island. This time, with the advent of the September school holidays, we headed over to Waiheke Island and enjoyed a week away at Man O’ War Bay.
We had a reasonably uneventful sail – the weather was sunny with a little (enough) wind. To sail as much as possible, we travelled the slow, circuitous route from Gulf Harbour Marina down past Takapuna and Devonport, just touching the entry to the Waitemata Harbour and around the bottom of Rangitoto Island and then Motuihe Island, and finally, Waiheke Island.
During our sail, we ran a new fishing lure and amazingly (as we generally have limited success) we caught a good-sized kahawai!
