Before we knew it we were back in the Bay of Plenty (of sunshine, for sure) and on the beach. A few days rest and we were off to Waihi Beach to catch up with family. Clare's sister from Wellington and her sister's two daughters and family from Auckland and London.
Of course, we weren't getting away from there without some form of shenanigans. Willow let go of her kite down on the beach. Her mum tracked it to a neighbours roof top from which Jame's rescued it. A full team effort for sure. Thanks to the kind man who patiently let this all play out on his roof-top!
Clare took the opportunity to head back to Wellington with her sister to spend a week with her Mum. James headed back to Whakatane to housesit Max and Ruby. James also had a couple of successful fishing missions.

We had a week or so to wait for our first housesit to start so off to another beach and bach we went. One of our favourite places on this earth, Whanarua Bay.
It was so lovely to stop for a while and take a deep breath. We hadn't realised how much we needed this after a fairly hectic and busy time travelling. However, this turned into one of our busiest fishing trips ever. We were delighted to be back in our kayak again and feeding ourselves.
We were also honoured to meet the biggest snapper we have ever caught off land! But the day before that happened, we caught a beautiful 10lb snapper which we were able to release.

| 20lb, it doesn't get much better than this! |
We caught up with lots of friends and watched lots of beautiful sunsets from the verandah.
