Boat trip shows Auckland from the other side

 

Probus Boat Trip 2014 B(copy)Around 50 Mangawhai Probus members and friends made their way by bus to Westhaven for a trip aboard the Reo Moana up to Riverhead.

Highlights across the Waitemata Harbour include the maritime museum, the Cloud building, new apartments and shops, the container terminal, Auckland Marine Rescue Centre, and Mechanics Bay.

Surrounding visual landmarks included Okahu Bay, Bastion Point, Browns Island, Motuehe Island, Waiheke Island, and Motutapu.
The tour motored past Devenport, the naval base and under the harbour bridge before going on to Riverhead.

A great lunch was provided by the crew.

Continuing on around Northcote point highlights included the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, Hobsonville Marina, Hobsonville Air Force Base, Greenhithe, Salthouse Boat Builders, and the remains of the HMNZS Hawera as the group finally arrived at the once-notorious Riverhead Tavern.
After a drink and an hour’s wandering it was all-aboard the vessel and back to Westhaven.

It’s a highly recommended trip, which finished with Easter eggs hopping off the bus.

Pictured, the tour party leisurely take in the sights on the Waitamata.

The next Probus meeting will be held on Thursday May 15, Senior Citizens Hall , 2pm. More details contact Beve Smith 431 5777.
