Islington Bay Raid - first overnighter aboard Kokako

Kokako under sail in Motuihe Channel


Kokako off Rangitoto Island

Varuna under sail on the way to Motuihe Isand


Rangitoto at dawn from my sleeping bag.

First night sleeping on Kokako (Paul on Varuna anchored close by). I had a $9 tarp tied between the masts that flapped in the wind till about 1 am - need to sort something better out.

First swim of the season (still pretty cool)

Steve, Dave and Paul ashore on Rangitoto Island (800 year old island - Motutapu which is connected by a small bridge is many million years old)


Paul onboard Varuna (a Pathfinder designed by John Welsford)
