Skipper's Report
A small intimate cruise including a very enthusiastic young guest who was excited to get stuck into the fishing. Plenty of fish caught while anchored at Paroa Bay and even a stingray was pulled on board but soon released, no fish for dinner tonight. Stingrays make an appearance the next day too while snorkeling and even a little purple penguin ( ok so that was our cute little friend again) but we do have little blue penguins in New Zealand so do keep an eye out for them.
The sun comes out for the Island walk at Roberton and a chance to explore the twin lagoons before heading back on board for a delicious lunch and cruise home to Paihia
