Sunday 10 April In Urquharts bay once more

We left Kawau for the last time this year under motor as there wasn't any wind for the first hour or so then as cleared the headland we had our first breathe of breeze which grew into a steady blow and another fine sail up to Bream Head and the estuary leading to Whangarei. During the first part of the trip we saw penguins and when we were sailing I saw a pod of large black animals swimming past us. They were just too far for good identification. I was hoping they were pilot whales.
It was too late to continue up river and with the tide flowing out wouldn't have been wise. We anchored around from Urquharts in MacGregors Bay where we've had free internet connection before. Not so lucky this time so we watched a film.
