Went on a trip with the Silverdale Historical Society around the harbour and as far as Mt Wellington up the Tamaki River yesterday. The rest of the group came down from the Hibiscus Coast that morning and we joined them at the Abalone Cruises boat at Pier Z at Westhaven. We went down the evening before to locate the pier as it is like another suburb down there and. We cruised round the Viaduct basin, see the Americas Cup yacht Oracle preparing to leave the harbour for their day's racing, all the new appartments, the super yachts, the good old Ferry Building , Maritime Museum before heading over near Devonport, back around the bays - Mechanics, Kohi, Bastion Point, Mission Bay round to the more unfamiliar territory - Te Karaka , Glen Innes, Panmure, under a couple of bridges. That was on our side of Auckland. There were all the eastern bays like Bucklands Beach, a marina , the red Waiheke vehicular ferries plying back and forth. It was idyllic really. Back the same way but a little faster and without the commentary.
