Call It A Day
My home port of Opua is a ten minute ferry ride to the small town of Kororāreka Russell, New Zealand's first capital. In the early 1800s, before New Zealand became a nation, Kororāreka was a whaling town, called 'the Hell Hole of the Pacific'. It is said that every business was either a bar or a brothel. Now the capital is Wellington and Kororāreka Russell is a pretty little town on the bay, a major tourist attraction in The Bay of Islands.
