Walkworth

 With Ardmachree anchored in the Mahurangi Harbour we dingied upstream about 7 n. miles to the town of Walkworth. The trip started in open waters but soon narrowed to a well buoyed channel leading to the towns docks. We had arranged to meet Barry and Lorraine for lunch in town.  

 After lunch and a quick shopping for groceries we walked back to the docks. The tide was starting to ebb so it was time to be on our way.

 Several beautifully restored classic steam and sailing boats are tied up along the docks.

Leaving Walkworth behind there are several marinas and associated businesses sharing the banks of the river with a very dense mangroves lining the shores.
