		Competitors follow the shoreline of the active volcano Rangitoto and may pass on the east side of the lighthouse taking a narrow harbour inlet which is an ideal place to change (the inlet is not visible on the map).
		Having travelled 4.8km to North East Bay on Rakino island this is a good place to make a change as it is often sheltered from the westerly and south westerly winds that often blow at this time of the year.

		Eventually Saddle island came into view an unmistakable land mark at the entrance, I was really hanging on at this stage as the wind had filled in to a solid 20 knots plus and with the easterly swell being magnified by the shallow bay conditions were nearly calling for a reef.
		I love those 5 knots signs, I think it is the duty of each citizen to responsibly break at least two laws a day (it makes politicians feel justified) and this bylaw was one I had no choice but to flagrantly ignore as the wind howled directly up the harbour.
		By the time we were in the Tiri channel the wind had dropped to few knots so the decision was made to motor to Rakino Island some 10 kms away.
