Crusing the Bay of Islands, Part II






As part of the cruise, we spent an hour on an island in the bay (where Zane Grey used to spend some time). We began with a "Sub Sea" adventure, which is a little corny, since they pretend it is a submarine when really it is a ship with some windows under the water. But Alexander was captivated, and so were we. The weather was murkey due to last week's rain (the north really got drenched: they say it was a once in 150 year rain) but we could see lots of fish, particularly when the bucket came down with the fish food in it. Alexander loved the bucket and ignored the fish to look for the bucket.

After the half-hour "adventure", we hung out on the beach for a while. Despite living 10 minutes from the beach, it never gets old.
