Today was mainly spent out on the
water admiring the scenery as we drifted past.
We left from Havelock and spent some time negotiating the long narrow channel that leads out into the Sounds. Luckily all the channel markers are numbered so we could keep track of where we were, more or less as there are numerous islands, bays and inlets and, as the man at the boat hire place pointed out "it all gets a bit samey after a while".
However we managed to find our way round the correct headland and into Kenepuru Sound and made our way up to The Portage where we had spent our honeymoon 45 years ago. There is a big marina in the bay to tie up to and we went and had a sandwich for lunch up on the balcony above the bay. It was very pretty but I'm not sure what we would have done had we decided to stay there for a week.
Sadly I didn't get any pictures on the tablet and can't upload photographs from the camera so will add them later when we get home.
The morning was beautiful, sunny and calm but the wind blew up quite strongly in the afternoon. Still we are happy it's not raining – yet!
