Some photos of Opua, but before that, 3 pictures taken
coming down from Tonga - the first seemed to be appropriate as we sit here
in the rain!
 Aurora B in the middle of a large squall.
Sometimes we can sail round them, but not this one - we got
wet!
 Night watch attire as we approached NZ - it was
cold! (taken early morning)
 The welcome committee as we entered the Bay of
Islands.
 Aurora B on the Quarantine Dock outside Opua
marina .....
 ........... sharing it with a Pied
Shag.
 One of the 6 pontoons in Opua
marina
 They have traffic cones out here too! But no, it's
not - it is a mooring buoy in disguise. Notice the
island in the middle
.................
 ...................... it's called Pine Island,
but is now referred to as Christmas Pudding Island
 Jellyfish - quite pretty when not stuck in
the generator water filter!
 There were a lot about in
Opua - allsorts of patterns, but all shades of
brown
