If a physical feature was to be omitted from Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf, I think it may be Rangitoto Island that would be missed the most. This beautifully symmetrical landmark is visible from all directions, and along with the Sky Tower, I think Rangitoto is the most tangible symbol of arriving home.
This must be the wettest Auckland summer on record, it really has been quite extraordinary. Today I provisioned the boat but have delayed my photographic trip, as yet again it is raining with winds howling through boat rigging. Leaving my marina berth in a strong northerly is difficult, particularly when solo, as the boat is quickly blown against a pole before managing to clear the marina berth.
The upside to all of this rain will be vibrant green grass, so, when the weather finally clears, I look forward to green hills, blue skies, and sparkling aqua seas, as these are elements I have been looking forward to adding to the Hauraki Gulf Galleries. - Peter
