On a sunny but fresh Autumn Day,  57 members of Hawkes Bay Branch ventured on, what has now become their annual “Mystery Trip”.  Members were amazed at the sea swell and massive waves along the coastline, both on the drive to our lunch stop at the Quality Inn on Marine Parade, Napier, and the journey along the highway north to Bay View.
