Te Mahia to Te Matau a Maui Bay (by launch)

The tide is right for John and Dot to pick us up for a BBQ at their beautiful Marlborough Sounds home!  First you can enjoy a leisurely drive to Havelock; then we drive a Porsche road through Linkwater and the Kenepuru Road to Te Mahia, arriving around 1200. 

We will embark on John’s launch for a 15 min Sounds Cruise across to Nopera, and our BBQ lunch on the Dixon’s sun-drenched deck. 

Around 1500, we will head back to Te Mahia and retrace our tracks to home.

Blenheimers will meet at the corner of Rapaura Rd and State Highway 6 at 1015 for a 1020 departure to Havelock.  We will meet the Nelsonians at 1100 (at Queen Charlotte Drive ), and drive to Te Mahia wharf via Linkwater, arriving around 1155. The launch will leave around 1200. 

Nelsonians will meet at the Peace Grove Rest stop on SH6, (500m North from Trafalgar St roundabout) at 0945am, departing promptly at 1000am for the trip to Havelock and Queen Charlotte Drive.
