Gulf Harbour

Our last stop up north, before passing through Auckland, was Gulf Harbour. We have a lot of friends here from the time we lived in Fairway Bay Marina, so as we were 'passing', wanted to take the opportunity to stop and say hi. Who knows when we'll be back up this way! Sadly, with the Covid-19 (Corona virus) wrecking its own flavour of havoc, (causing isolation and restricted group gatherings), plus being short on time, we missed a few of them.

The photo above shows the entrance to the marinas and that's one of the ferries on the left (yellow)  berthed and taking on passengers.

We stayed in the Gulf Harbour car park. This is the same piece of grass as in the previous photo, just turned about 90 degrees. The ferry is to my right, entrance to the marina directly behind me and to the left ... the sea.

The view from the slide-out window in our rig. That's the entrance to the marina to the left of the tree.

A stunning day — perfect to be out on the water. We're not sure about this poor cruise ship out in the harbour  they were there when we arrived and still there when we left. I expect they cannot dock because of the Covid-19 restrictions at present.

Meanwhile, yachties make the most of the fabulous weather. Auckland City is in the background.

And this is one of the ferries, arriving from Auckland. You can see SkyTower behind them.

More people enjoying the water. 

Coming out of the marina ... 

A beautiful sunset to finish off a lovely day.
