With sincere thanks to Wayne Mackenzie of Whatipu Lodge, who took these shots
of "Westport" on Easter Sunday 2016, 40 years after her first visit to Onehunga.

Left: Another successful crossing, passing Paratutae Island, with the Awhitu Peninsula beyond. The water at this point is up to 50 metres deep
