Alex's First Fishing Trip!








A friend of ours owns a boat and it is 'kept' in the city. I say kept as it is stacked in a huge building with a forklift truck which, after a phone call, is removed from the shelf and placed into the marina. Very impressive.

The boat, Warrior, is perfect for a fishing trip. It goes fast and has plenty of room for the fishing gear. Travelling out of the marina is amazing as you are so close to the city and surrounded by beautiful boats.

Once out of the marina it became a bit choppy and the boat was bouncing a fair bit but Alex,
fortunately, loved every second of it. All those trips with Nanna and Poppy have turned him into a right little pirate. 'Go faster Dave!' was a frequent request.

Once passed the North head it started to calm down a bit and Dave could put the throttle down a bit more. The lighthouse next to Rangitoto was our fishing spot and there were quite a few other fisherman.
