Man O’ War

February 9, 2014

We spent yesterday and last night anchored in Man O’ War Bay on Waiheke Island…

Perfect Afternoon

Why yes, you’re right.  There is a winery by that name, and it’s right here!  We’ve visited the winery three times by car.  This the first time we’ve had our boat anchored off the beach (Yea, no designated driver!).  What a special place this is.

Notice the wine glass in the pitcher's hand!

…and the atmosphere just can’t be beat.

There’s a big lawn in front of the winery where people gather, taste wine and play all kinds of outdoor games.  It’s so very festive – just a perfect place to spend an afternoon. -Rich
