    October 31, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Summer is the time to get out and enjoy the Hauraki Gulf Take a look at 4 Islands that I love to visit and that are perfect for day trips in the Hauraki Gulf. All 4 of these Islands are only a short ride by Ferry. Kawau Island I love this Island, I have many childhood memories from visiting Kawau Island as it was often the choice for picnic stops while we were boating in the Hauraki Gulf. You can easily grab a Ferry from Sandspit and it only takes about 20 mins across, give or take depending on scheduled stops in the many scenic bays along the way. Many…

    March 18, 2019 / 0 Comments

    This post is all about sharing my scenic images of the Hauraki Gulf. This is a good chance to bring my images into one post. These photos were all taken on day trips or overnight camps in the Hauraki Gulf. There are many Islands in the Hauraki Gulf, some I have been to, some you can not land on and others I hope to visit on a later date. Motuora Island is amazing and I was so lucky to get the opportunity to camp for 2 nights there. A great place to swim, walk and kayak in between just relaxing in the sand. Kawau Island One of my favourite day…

    Coastal Image Scenic Drive North Auckland

    April 24, 2019 / 0 Comments

    For an Auckland coastal image choose the coastal route when travelling north of Auckland. I do drive this road on occasion and I always prefer the coastal road. It is quite hilly but on a good day, the scenery will take your breath away. Another good reason to take the coastal road during summer is so you can stop along the way to cool off in the tide. The Scenic Route To Capture a Coastal Image I was heading down the coast towards Auckland the other day and I had the camera in the car, so I stopped to grab some images. Following the Coastal Route. My journey started by…

    Boating Safety NZ

    March 14, 2019 / 0 Comments

    When it comes to NZ Boating Safety. The rules on the water and of your boat and those that you are responsible for are becoming a lot stricter with an aim to save lives and a goal to taking steps for your survival should something go wrong while you are out on the water. Things have changed since the old days. I remember spending a lot of time boating on the Hauraki Gulf as a youngster and I also remember that sometimes things did go wrong. Luckily the boat never sank but there were silly things happen like the motor breaking down or some dink throwing the anchor over the…
