One last chance tomorrow.
Norman CorwinNARRATOR
From the air... we could take in the full magnificence of its setting on a narrow isthmus between two great harbors.
Norman CorwinNARRATOR
And our clipper, with barely a ruffle, set us down in choppy green water across the harbor from a dead volcano known by the native Maori name of Rangitoto.
Norman CorwinNARRATOR
Our first day in Auckland was a Saturday, and all the stores were closed.
Norman CorwinNARRATOR
They stay open late on Fridays, and then everybody takes a long weekend.
MarkAUDIENCE
How could they?
Marcus LushHOST
... volcanic cone, Rangitoto-
MarkAUDIENCE
How-
Marcus LushHOST
... which they just ripped up for roads like all the, all the rest of them, and then in an afterthought turned into a running track.
AnnieGUEST
yeah.
AnnieGUEST
We did do one winter sail to Rangitoto Island, which is the big extinct volcano just across the water from the city.
AnnieGUEST
Yeah.
AnnieGUEST
So we went there, and that was fun.
Abigail HannahHOST
what year would that have been like 2021 and then this was like two years later 2023 we
IsaacGUEST
might have done some things in Auckland to Rangitoto or something but
Abigail HannahHOST
we didn't have our own boats we were still paddling a double kayak so I was very much like very still beginner Isaac had obviously had white water experience because he was also doing white water at Murchison and stuff um but yeah sea kayaking wise we were still very much babies
IsaacGUEST
Yeah, and I think that's again like reflected in where we chose to paddle.

It's a 4.6.
DuncanHOST
The ocean swim series, yeah?
Jonti HornerGUEST
Because it's a little volcanic field of these small little maars and tuff rings and all this stuff.
Jonti HornerGUEST
Um, none of them are thought to have erupted more than once, except for one of them called Rangitoto.
Andrew DunkleyHOST
Mm.
Jonti HornerGUEST
Um, but it is an active volcanic area.
JoshAUDIENCE
Well, I don't know, maybe someone from the Browns Bay area set up a very nice website for South Africans.
JoshAUDIENCE
You can ask the question, Marcus, why are so many other groups of people moved to the Rangitoto school area also? And the answer is they probably like the idea of all the schools.
JoshAUDIENCE
I read a real estate sign that said, five schools, five beaches, it's paradise.
JoshAUDIENCE
Wow.
JoshAUDIENCE
I like talking, Marcus.
JoshAUDIENCE
What's the biggest school in New Zealand? I have no idea.
JoshAUDIENCE
Is it Rangitoto? Yep.
JoshAUDIENCE
Yeah, it'd have to be, wouldn't
Nicola TokiGUEST
I, I will land that plane.
Nicola TokiGUEST
Um, I was the c- comms advisor for the Department of Conservation based in Auckland, and it was a pretty exciting time because, you know, DOC being, DOC was very, very stoked to have spent two, three years planning the final eradication of mammals on Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands.
EmileHOST
Hmm.
Nicola TokiGUEST
Which of course now is bursting with wildlife, including tākehere.
EmileHOST
Oh, what?
Nicola TokiGUEST
...
Nicola TokiGUEST
Rangitoto Motutapu Island.
Nicola TokiGUEST
Yes.
RobHOST
You've gotta get the tide bang on, right? You've gotta get the tide 100% on high on the turn.
RobHOST
[laughs] 'Cause if you don't and it's an outgoing tide, you'll be fishing them out at Rangitoto 'cause the, that honks through the Tamaki Estuary.
RobHOST
Either way, on a high tide it's a great place for a triathlon, and that's where my daughter's producing.
RobHOST
In, I think it's the 20th of February.
