A quick stop at Poor Knights Islands


At the end of our 3 week exploration of New Zealands Northeast corner we stopped at the Poor Knights Islands: a marine reserve located about 30 miles from our "homebase" in Whangarei.

The anchorages at the Poor Knights are marginal at best.   Thankfully, the wind and swell were quite low for two days straight.  We dropped our anchor on a pile of rocks and set out in the dinghy to explore.
