spent Friday and Saturday in Sullivans Bay to watch the Classic yacht regatta. Fantastic turnout, particularly of 70's and 80's sub 40' yachts as well as others a lot older. Got to meet Fogg and his family and check out each other's yachts. View from Tungutu Pt (NW end of Sullivans) Looking up the Mahurangi Friday night, very calm, yachts were arriving until after midnight

A nice and still evening at Kaiaraara bay now that the wind has buggered off. I was glad for the Rocna last night.

Most of those launches do nothing for me. But oh Meola, she's such a stunner!

View AttachmentRanui Ranui was built at the Norwegian whaling station on Stewart Island in 1936 and has served as a spy ship, royal yacht, island trader and oyster dredger. Her massive kauri and totara construction continues to shoulder aside the years, and after a complete refit she is one of the best appointed offshore vessels in New Zealand. The understated elegance of her large saloon is awash with books, CDs and videos. The three staterooms have full ensuites and the wheelhouse is fitted with worldwide communications equipment. Owner, engineer and skipper Richard Allen is an ex Olympic sailor, and with a former restauranteur as chef and cultural guide, your safety, comfort and full enjoyment of your time on the water are absolutely assured.

And she was there as mothership to the H Class called Corona which Richard also owns. Corona also won the Regatta. H Class are 26ft Mullet boats.

I was pleased to see the small retail community at Little Oneroa seems to be thriving with all 3 of them doing business - the Wood Fired Pizza place, Little Oneroa store and Little Oneroa Takeaway.
$8 buys you an amazing garlic & herb pizza bread worthy of the best Auckland restaurant. I’ll be popping back for another one before I leave around lunchtime 😊
