Saturday 1st august.
In the afternoon we went for a dinghy ride up "Murder Creek” through giant Mangrove trees!
Another good night in a secure and calm anchorage.
Sunday 2nd August.
0600 departed Port Sandwhich for Ratua Private Island (resort) on south side of Aore Island.
Winds up to 40 knots from the South East. Poled out Jib with two reefs in the mainsail.
We covered the 65 miles in just over 6 hrs. Max speed of 17.6 knots. Another great sail.
1230. Picked up a mooring at Ratua after losing our boathook over the side. Some friendly New Zealanders on “Notorious” went swimming to retrieve it, but to no avail.
Ross subsequently made a new boat hook.
Ratua is a delightful resort on its own island. We went ashore for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance.
Monday 3rd August.
0930 left Ratua and motored around to the other side of aore Island where we anchored outside the Aore Resort.
