Monday morning and the weather had finally turned up, clear blue skies, very little wind and very warm with temperatures in the late 20’s early 30’sC. Whilst pottering around, we saw that our favourite parking spot was available so we decided to move.
We settled ourselves in, making ourselves comfortable before Garry arrived that afternoon. John had given us some fresh fish which I cooked for dinner that evening.
The following day we were at the beach ready to fish.
Whilst we were on the beach I got a phone call from Jacky….”I’m at your van”, she says, “where are you?” She came down to the beach as we were just packing up for the day. 7 snapper and a trevally for the afternoons effort, enough for us to share.
We returned to the van for a welcome cuppa and a good long chat before Jacky had to return home. But not before we made plans for a catch up at Whakapirau shortly.
The next few days were spent on the beach enjoying good company, fishing and telling of tall tales.
The freezer is filling nicely, although we don’t need or want too much as soon we shall have to empty out the fridge and freezer whilst we are away for a while. More on those plans at a later date!
We’ve managed to capture some stunning sunrises and sunsets too.
We are here for a wee while so we shall have a good opportunity to meet up with lots of friends, share some fish and generally enjoy the north.
