Lindsay, Jake and Kate visit
 
After a long drive up from the Coromandel, Mike’s daughter and grandkids arrived for a four day visit.  Although deep into Autumn, the weather was very settled and we were able to take them around the Bay of Islands. We slept over in the perfectly calm anchorages of Upungo and Okuia, and did day trips to Robertson and Urupukapuka Islands, where there are beaches and walks. But of course the highlight was the fishing..... lots of snapper were caught and eaten.
