Tamahine – supplied the lunch
And the Raglan Fish – cooked the best F&C’s I have had in a long time – 3x Dory + chips $10 @ Raglan Wharf
Even when its a weekend away in the car, still managed to slip some salty activity in. If you are in Raglan, check out the Wharf area, great coffee (Raglan Roast), funky shops that had enough appeal to lighten the wallet/purses of the blokes & blokets + one of the best fish shops / cafes I have been to in a long time.
And a plug for a great beer we discovered, its not often Mrs H enjoys a cold ale but the “Good George – Sparkling Ale’ (ex Hamilton) was spot on.
Saturday saw a walk to the inland ‘Bridal Veil Falls’, 55m drop – very impressive.

R.I.P Tamahine. Yep, she was built in Invercargill I think I read somewhere. Lovely double ender and sadly no more -smashed to driftwood in a heavy onshore swell after running around early morning 4 June 2024 off Taiaroa Pt south of Dunedin . No apparent reason for the stranding but not a good place to land. Both crew members saved by helicopter.
