Hopefully not April Fool but leaving today, planning on anchoring overnight at Heads and then going to Barrier Island. Stocked with 2 weeks supplies and not expecting internet although we may get cell phone in some parts.Left Whangarei fairly early in the morning and did not have to hover long for the Bascule Bridge to open. It is a very elegant structure, which I did not appreciate fully on arrival, designed and built by two British Companies (I had thought French because of the name). Made our way back past the many boatyards and oil refinery towards the Heads arriving Urquarts Bay late morning. Did not go ashore as we had been here in the car, sunbathed, admired the view and had early night in preparation for early start tomorrow
