WAITEMATA’S WONDERFUL WATERWAY 

With the long weekend coming up today we take a step back and reflect on what makes our cruising grounds some of the best in the world.

This article from Sea Spray magazine – Vol 1, No. 6, May 15th, 1946 captures what makes the islands of the Waitemata and inner Hauraki Gulf so special.

Enjoy the Easter holiday, forget about the price of diesel and find yourself a nice anchorage and open that bottle you have been saving for a special day. I hope the Easter bunny finds you and you are rewarded with lots of chocolate Easter eggs. The best hot x buns are found at Beabeas Bakery, Westmere. Voted best in AKL 3 years in a row. But be quick they sell out early and Dave Giddens is their best customer 🙂
