November along north coast...when kiwi wheather shows his good face...what else ?

Manganui: not easy to find a space among the private moorings

Mangonui fish n ship is supposed to be the best in the world...

...May be but a very good buisness in any case...

...even if some un ininvited guest try to avoid the cashier point.

On the way south

A lot of choice of anchorages in  huge and perfectly protected Whangaroa

Wild side: scenic anchotage just right after the entrance

Dinghy ride to the end of the inlet offer unusual feeling

Anchored close to cultural side, with also a very good protection

No doubt about the main activity of this remote place

And this is from a long time...

Sailing south again

In the Cavalli for the second time with a much better visibility

One of the last spearfishing party

and better result: we love the red "pigfish" very similar to tropical hogfish

First magic encounter with killer whales; this family of 3 orcas is probably hunting for small swimming pinguins
