TAMAHINE
Bay of Islands woody – Dean Wright sent in the above photos of Tamahine, photos are ‘photos-of-photos’ so a tad hazy. The original images are held by Reb Aplin, the current owner of – Pearl Diver. Tamahine used for game fishing out of Waihau Bay on NZ’s east coast.
Can we learn more about Tamahine – under all that gear there is a very traditional looking hull.
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.
