Day three in the yellow from Taupo to Waihi then up to the Coramandel.
We left Taupo and passed through the Waikato where we had a quick visit to our old neighbours that are fertiliser pilots.They were just off to a job to dump 100 tonne up the Waihau. 5 hour drive for his Mrs with the extra fuel for the plane. While he took off from Matamata.
Lunch at Waihi at 1430 where I flicked @Chris a text but as he was at work we thought we will carry on up to the coramadel to Scribes.
We stayed at Scribes.

Surfcasting with Chris till 2200hrs. 5 small kawhai landed. Chris set up two 16 feet rods for us.We wound them in when we could see the glow tip on the end off the rods dancing up there with the stars.Bloody nice evening down on the beach. Photos inbound:D

The sea was rough and the rain was beginning,it was just the start of the wild weather that would the cause havoc on Taranaki,Whanganui and the Manawatu/Rangitikei districts.
