Cyndi and Rich aboard Legacy

That’s a lot for us. Kiwis often visit three or four bays each day, but not us. One’s usually it, and we often stay in one bay for several days. (Click on a map marker below for more info.)
Those places are really special – Man O’ War that we talked about in a previous post , Rotoroa Island, and Ponui Island. See for yourselves… Here’s a gallery of photos mostly from Rotoroa. (Click on any picture to enlarge.)-Rich

We spent yesterday and last night anchored in Man O’ War Bay on Waiheke Island…
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.
The bay is beautiful…
the wine is incredible…
great food…
…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

‘Cause we’re stuck on the boat for a blow (and because we have at least marginal internet access).
We’re tucked in to a nice bay on Ponui Island that is giving us pretty good protection from the east wind. The wind could keep up for a few days. Oh well, it’s a nice place to hang out. -Rich

Another beautiful sunset show – this one last night at Ponui Island in New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf. Photos by Cyndi.

New Zealand is gorgeous! Photos taken of New Zealand are gorgeous! On most days, there are big, beautiful clouds floating by (or today, whizzing by). Big clouds make for dramatic lighting. Take yesterday for example…
