The Rainbow Warrior arrive at Waihou Bay, East Cape. This marks the start of a festival at Whangaparaoa, run by local iwi Te Whanau a Apanui celebrating the withdrawal oil giant Petrobras which had planned to drill for deep sea oil. A united front of protest action took place in the Raukumara Basin in 2011 that disrupted deep sea oil surveys. The Greenpeace ship will spend the next few weeks visiting ports around the country.
