"The canoe made its landfall at Whangaporaora in the Bay of Plenty, then sailed along the coast into the Waitemata Harbour and then up the Tamaki Estuary whence a portage was made to the Manukau and turned southwards, members of the crew disembarking near Raglan (Whangaroa), Kawhia and Mokau. The last group aboard beached her at Te Wai-iti, but later some colonists at Kawhia refloated her and after leaving the anchorage stone at Mokau drew the canoe into a thickett".
