SUNDAY 30TH JANUARY

Drove to Kaiteriteri to meet up with Jan and Nig (Bernie’s sister and Brother In-law) We went in their large aluminium boat up the Abel Tasman.
We had a great day swimming, picnic, walks into the park saw Awaroa Lodge – A flash lodge that you can stay at on the walk for about $700/ night! Even the coffees were $6.00.
Went over to Tonga Island and saw the baby seals as it is baby season. Stopped at all the bays on the way down, saw some big stingrays. So many kayakers everywhere and sea shuttle boats picking people up and dropping them off. It’s a very big business and well co-ordinated.
On the way back we put the scallop dredge down a few times and got a good quota in no time at all. Then it was back to the ramp and back to Jan and Nig’s for dinner……fresh scallops of course.
Thanks  Jan and Nig for a great day and night. Wonderful.
