CLASSIC WOODY WAIHEKE MOOCHING

Last weekend I did three things – looked at the long range weather forecast, looked in Logbook to see how many days I’d used the boat since xmas and decided to head away for a week.

Solo trip – needed to clear the head and say hello to the boat.

Did a lap of Waiheke Island, including a trip to Rotoroa Island. In the end it was 6 days, as I ran out of LPG and I’m not a happy camper without several cups of coffee and a hot dinner 🙂

As always there was some serious food involved  – big ups to Man o War Vineyard , their midweek lunch was ✔️✔️.

 Spotted a few woodys but the bottom end of the island was very quiet , which was perfect. The run-about is owned by Tobias Forsyth (also owns MV CALLISTO) and from memory is powered by a 350 Chev V8, if your are into zoom zoom and I am – 50 mph ……..

I haven’t been to Lake Rotoroa in probably 10+ years , this trip was very different  – only person other tha myself was the ranger – slightly eerie, the cemetery particularly. But glad I visited – great set up and walks are easy.
