Claimants, Crown representatives and Waitangi Tribunal members explored the eastern Bay of Islands by boat on Monday to see first-hand the places being discussed in this week's Northland Inquiry hearings. The site visit by more than 150 people on board the Fullers' vessel Dolphin Seeker was followed by formal welcomes at the three main marae of the Rawhiti Peninsula - Te Rawhiti, Waikare and Karetu.
