New Zealand Day 22 - Bay of Islands on the Sailboat


After an early morning of kayaking and shelling, a few of us went in the dinghy with snorkels, masks and fins to go mussel diving!  We got lots and then had them later for lunch!  It was really fun to harvest the mussels (green lipped mussels) and they were delicious. We saw a "Brutus" whale and it was about 12 feet long!  Also saw a sunfish that is so odd - looks like a shark but when you see it's picture it looks like it was lopped off just behind the gills - scary, though, when you think it's a shark!  Anyway, we all said our goodbyes (aren't the crew cute?) and hopefully will stay in touch via email.
