We had a 4-day weekend at Easter and decided to use some of that time to see parts of the Far North Island that we've missed previously.
One of our first stops was in Paihai at the Bay of Islands. We took a scenic cruise out into the Bay. With over a hundred and forty islands to break the wave action, the seas were pretty placid.
One the "guarantees" of the cruise was the sighting of playful dolphins. There are over 500 that call the Bay of Islands home.
Another "destination" of our cruise was the "famous" Hole in the Rock. The open seas were too active to allow us to zip through the hole in our boat -- as some vacationers get to experience. But we were glad our skipper wasn't anxious to be the subject of the 6 o'clock news.
The seas weren't really rough in terms of what they could have been, but our quick return trip to Paihai was fun at about 35 knots.
