Opua anchorage in the Bay of Islands. Visible is the fishing wharf and ferry ramp. The boats are either anchored or moored. Most boats are locals however there are still many foreign boats left.
| An early morning photo of the little island behind our mooring, named Dumpling Island by a fellow cruiser, really looks like a plum pudding with trees on top. Its real name is Motutokape Island. (I don't know why they add "island" on the chart, motu means island.) Fishermen troll around it, and locals gather rock oysters along the shore at low tide. |  |
