The finale…..
Cranes across from the wharf
Downtown
Ferries run all day and night
A local tug
Getting ready for another meal in the sky
The wind had picked up by now
We would miss sail away at 8pm……dinner time for us
Small motoring sail boat
There’s the Sky Tower
Older buildings rock
Antennas add to the height
Views from every window
Naval yard
Everywhere we look is Auckland
Auckland’s Harbour Bridge
The guests have arrived
This building did not look finished yet
Devonport - a 12 minute ferry ride across the harbor
A ferry
Watchers for the dinner platform
We like boat-watching
Waving goodbye to us
A lone cormorant
Getting strapped in
Another speedy ferry
Smaller vessels
Cameras out, ready to go
Unidentified bird
Silver gull
Mature gull
Plates being prepared
They are being lifted
Very slowly
Serving champagne
But not too much bubbly
Here they go
Up, up, and away
Now you get the idea
Are they having fun yet?
Even the servers are tethered
Roof keeps them dry
Wonder what this costs per person?
You’d have to pay us
Must last about an hour
Fast boat
Fast gull
Looking for scraps
Sun will set soon
