Cruising New Zealand 3

Sal Darago on the piles, having her bottom attended to ;-)

Forestry Bay, Great Barrier Island
We motored all of 3 miles to this bay and anchored. The land here is owned by the Department of Conservation and several trails have been provided and a campsite. We walked to a waterfall, which had 3 or 4 deep pools. The trail continued through the forest to Port Fitzroy village. The shop was well-stocked and we were able to buy supplies for the next two days. Jeremy saw a notice advertising items for sale. He phoned the number and before long we were the owners of a solar ventilator, a walking pole and a sharp knife in a scabbard, all in new or good condition for a very reasonable price.
