Everybody loved him, but the person who loved him most was Tim. One fine day, an excited Hāpata set off on a boat with Tim’s father, heading for the Marlborough Sounds. What no one knew, however, was that the weather would soon turn rough and Hāpata would be thrown into the biggest adventure of his life.
