Tauranga

The reef stricken Rena in the Bay of Plenty.  Her captain was taking a short cut to beat the tide window  to get inside Tauranga port. 

The bay did suffer pollution and the random falling in to sea of containers,

but no major damage on the coast line here.

360 deg views form the top. Looking south. Steep walk for 45 mins or more, depending on your puff or lack of it.

Looking north.  Out next heading.
