Christmas 2006/2007: Out the back, Harataonga

We motored around to as far as the Needles, catching a Kingfish on the way, sailed the rest of the way to Harataonga. Good vis for the Hauraki Gulf as we can see the bottom at 8m. Did some diving at Arid Island, good vis. Saw a flying fish ‘flying’ alongside the dinghy, walked some of the coastal walkway. Quite a few boats have made the most of the weather and come round to this side and the anchorage is busy.
