A beautiful morning greeted us for the first early dip of the day! Such a change from the evening before. For the first time it seemed everyone actually WANTED to jump in. Chores were done quickly and Rachel cooked up a mean breakfast that had us all fuelled up and ready to go.
We upped anchor directly and made a small shift over to Waewaetoria, here some of the team opted to hike on the island, putting in the hard work to get to the top of the island for some sweet views. A few folk went for a snorkel with the skipper and collected a big bag of fat Kina and a couple of crayfish…. That are right now being devoured round the table as a pre dinner snack.

sausage sizzle for lunch then a breezy sunny sail across the bay to Marsden cove, now we’re settling in for a quiet night, every one is looking tanned and windswept, ready for a good nights sleep
