The sunrise was amazing this morning and brought everyone outside to marvel at the beauty and take lots of pictures. What a fitting send off of this beautiful part of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting ready to kayak is no simple endeavor. Over our clothes went a waterproof jacket, spray skirt and life jacket. Sounds simple enough when you put everything on in the correct order, which of course I didn\u2019t do the first time around. I\u2019m learning so much on this trip. It\u2019s our third time kayaking since we\u2019ve been in NZ. I should have it down to a science by now. Guess not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We climbed into our kayaks and set off paddling towards Watering Cove, our first stop. It was a beautiful day, sunny with calm waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitch and I were trying to perfect our synchronous paddling (left, right, left, etc.). We did OK I guess, but probably won\u2019t qualify for the Olympic rowing team any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
