Easter Treat, Bay of Islands

NZ weather at the moment is totally unpredictable, and as it happens we've had 3 windy storms in about 3 weeks, then 2 days of beautiful summer sunshine weather!  Talk about radical change!  Everyone is brassed off they haven't had summer, so we snapped up the opportunity to seek another bay for a view along with Craig's cousin and his family.  Previous to this sunshine we had lots of rain, and wind - so it made us relax, and enjoy being on board.

 The John Dory that tried to swallow a large kahawai, but it got stuck in it's mouth! - Craig saw it floating, grabbed it, and we had dinner for two nights! Doesn't get much easier than that!
