We took the boat and a picnic out for the day, and decided to have our lunch at Takapuna.
When we arrived we discovered a waka stranded on the beach - quite a strange sight!
The owner/carver came and sat with us in the shade and explained that the captain, from the Bahamas, had misjudged the tide and they were stranded!
(Typical Bahamian!)
The boat was handcarved and there are 4 of them in NZ, specifically for young people to learn navigation the old way, by the stars, like their ancestors.
