We left Kawau destined for Waiheke Island but as we ventured further away from shelter the sea kicked up into an uncomfortable chop. We’re not accustomed to the motion after being in such quiet waters for so long and we diverted to Waikalabubu Bay on Motutapu Island about five miles short of our goal. There were already a few boats in the anchorage and by late afternoon a few more joined us but there was plenty of room and while we didn’t go ashore we had a quiet, peaceful night surrounded by beautiful scenery.
