It was a busy Easter Weekend; so busy I’ve only just found time to upload photos and document it!
There was always going to be snorkeling, so putting an Ecofest overlay on it was no hardship. Friends from Auckland Debs and Andrew were anchored in Woody Bay so we press-ganged them into a snorkel, along with Sharon, and Sam. The water did not have the best clarity, but it was good to get in a late season snork. Sam impressed with no wetsuit… I didn’t manage to get any good photos from the event due to poor water clarity.
I did manage to get some good shots a month later in early May however; it seemed to be the season for seahares, and there was a particularly handsome white speckled seahare perambulating around in the hiwihiwi grotto…
We also had a fantastically successful Easter market day sheltering behind the fire shed, which was a great venue. I comprehensively failed to get any photos, but can report that heaps of Rakino-ites turned up, and plenty of money was raised for Westpac Rescue Helicopter Trust, and marine conservation. Many thanks to Natalie who organised the event.
