Motored out to the Motuihe channel, and fished for a while, then with promise of a light northerly, set sail for Rakino. Reaching at 4.5 knots, we got there for a late lunch, and anchored in 18m of water, for some fishing. Chris went diving with his spear gun on the nearby islet reef.
We caught a heap of fish, including a couple of legal size snapper, almost a John Dory, and a bunch of smaller snapper, one on every drop of the lure!
We left Rakino late in the afternoon, 4pm, and set sail, in very light conditions (5-8 knots), no whitecaps, and once we lined up with Browns island, set the spinnaker, and ran all the way home, under spinnaker, all the way up Tamaki estuary, only dropping the spinnaker at the ramp. Epic day..
My friends on the helm, me on the bow...
The huge spinnaker run home
Snapper for a late dinner !
