 On the day they were ready, Ruatapu set out his canoe two hours ahead of Taruia, and intentionally capsized it knowing Taruia would find him in the water.This happened near a small island named Mainainara, and the exact spot where it happened was named "Raukuruvaka", or "Raukuraka".It was not long before Taruia found him and Ruatapu pleaded for his help.
