I'm on a boat!

Yesterday I drove a boat, not a big boat, but still a boat. It was also my first time fishing. We didn't catch anything, despite the sea birds giving us their best hints, but we had a couple of cold beers, floated around and had a laugh in the sun!

David and Sam gave us a good tour taking us from south of Cockle Bay round past Howick and Musick Point to the mouth of Half Man Bay and then out to Browns Island. Blasting home through the small, deep blue chop and getting used to the feeling of a motorboat at speed was an eye opening experience! I could get used to this New Zealand summer!
