We were a bit worried about the weather impacting our flight back. We were told not to worry; I guess the locals can read the weather better than we can.
We explored a bit more of the island by car today, taking in the Kaitoke hot spring which involved a scenic hike.
By the time we got to the airfield in the afternoon, the weather was gorgeous.
There were more passengers than I expected. As it turned out, there were two aircraft operating at the same time by the same company. We were on the Islander again and were given a headstart. The second aircraft which was more modern overtook us midflight but we were back at North Shore Airfield soon enough, all the same.
