I’d love to see this from on the water, what do you all think? I’m amazed someone bought a house especially to see it though, that’s just amazing.
This was my weekend on the water, Makara to Titahi Bay Sunday, and a Kapiti island circumnavigation Monday....
Saturday, the Rangitikei river....
This is a trip I did a few months ago now, from Makara to Owhiro Bay on the Wellington coastline. I’ve only done the trip once before, and the trip is tide dependent and requires meticulous planning, tides can run in excess of five knots along this coastline, so it’s important to have them working in your favour.

I didn’t actually know they were building a new wharf on Somes, it’s great that the island is getting more infrastructure. And great they caught the ants, obviously.
The topic came up on my last post about winter paddling, so I thought I would share these, some photos from a road trip around the south island of New Zealand.

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!...
This is day two of Doubtful sound, paddling from Deep cove to Gut hut. One big goal we had with this trip was to circumnavigate Secretary island, and getting here put us in a good place to start exploring the outer reaches of Doubtful. It was a great start to the trip, with excellent weather as well.
