We woke up early so we could leave Tutukaka at high tide and make the day-long trip to the Hauraki Gulf outside of Auckland. The scene was striking: a rich golden light contrasted with sharp black shadows created by the low angle of the sun.
The morning was already fairly warm, the seas were calm, and we looked forward to a day of motoring down the New Zealand coast. –Cyndi
