More Bay of Islands with Friends

Rourke, Skyla and Sascha

We spent a couple more days sailing around the Bay of Islands with our friends on SY Living.  It is always fun to share wonderful experiences and places with friends.  We sailed, wakeboarded, baked, ate and drank, explored the islands, had heart to hearts and lots of laughter.  

The beauty of the Bay

On one of the islands we met the Burnett family with 6 children staying in a bach (pronounced "batch", a small beach house) and we anchored off that beach, socializing, SUPping and enjoying nature searching for Kiwi birds on the island.  The kids had a ball.

Right, so next up is a bit of Maori culture.  The proud aboriginal people of New Zealand.
