After almost 5 years<\/a> I’m back at Titirangi<\/a> for another kayaking trip<\/p><\/div>\n

Unlike last time where Glyn and I had to be rescued, we stay in Guards Bay this time<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re actually looking for the place where Glyn and I just managed to reach land at dusk to shelter for the strong southerly<\/p><\/div>\n

This looks familiar, we must be close<\/p><\/div>\n

Found it!<\/p><\/div>\n

This is exact spot where Glyn and I sheltered 5 years ago in the pitch black night before being rescued<\/p><\/div>\n

This is on the other side of Guards Bay, near Tawaroa Point, it looks like there are caves here<\/p><\/div>\n

We get ashore and I try to get to the caves<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would love to jump in here but on the other hand it’s rather cold today and I’m not sure how I’d get out again<\/p><\/div>\n

Strange patterns in the rocks<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots of little animal life in the puddles<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking back towards Titirangi Bay, where we started out trip<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not far to the campsite now<\/p><\/div>\n
