On our way to Auckland to prepare for Christmas and
family visits. Had fun in the bay of islands and will return again at a
future date. On our way down we stopped in Whangamumu Bay and had a small
surprise when two Penguins swam by the boat. It was quite a shock since we
figured that penguins only lived in cold climates but it was 70 degrees out and
sunny.
Our next stop was Smuggler's Cove where we are
currently anchored. We had the good fortune of rendezvousing with our good
friend Aedgard on the boat "Lariekoek" who you may recall had the misfortune of
winding up on a reef in Fiji. We caught up on everything that had happened since
we last saw each other in Tonga and he gave us the inside scoop on his salvage
adventures on Mago Island. It was great to see that Aedgard and his boat are
still sailing and in good spirits.
Our next stop is Kawau Island which will be our
last stop before we enter the Viaduct Harbor in downtown Auckland. I am sure we
will have a better internet connection there which will allow us to catch up on
all the pictures we have neglected to post in recent months.
