Saturday February 20, Bay of Islands

At last, a land where they speak English, well sort of! The Bay of Islands is really beautiful and the weather made it perfect, lots of sunshine and gentle breezes. I had booked a fishing trip while Sue went off with friends to the ancient town of Russell which was the original capital of NZ. You can see some photos of her there and the oldest church in the country.
The fishing trip was just wonderful, six people in the boat which shot off at 18 knots to a bay where the water was around 30 meters deep and we started fishing for snapper. But we also caught , kingfish, Kahawai and Trevelly and in total I caught 22 fish in three hours or so. I was very happy as you can see.
