Well, ive been a little slack updating so I'll try and get a couple of retrospective posts up.
Over Labour Weekend we (Elin & I, Freya (our flatmate) and Brent & Belinda) headed into the Abel Tasman to stay at Brents batch at Awaroa. The weather report didnt look great, and on the drive over the clouds were thick and heavy.
When we arrived at the carpark (you have to park up and either walk across (at low tide) or boat across the estuary), the sun seemed to magically come out and thats the way it stayed for the rest of the weekend.
On the Saturday Elin and I took the borrowed double kayak out to Separation Point. We even got to see a dolphin. It was a little lumpy but still nice. I headed out for a quick run in the evening.
The next day we were up and out reasonably early. Belinda and I headed out for a 3 hour run along the trail south. The running was great! We almost got to Torrent bay, so it was a decent length run!
When we got back, Freya made her family tradition sour dough pancakes. They are awesome. She makes a savoury one, with salmon and herbs, its bloody good.
On the Monday we packed up all our stuff and Elin & I paddled south to Kaiteri. Freya ran out through the park. Brent was good enough to drive through Marahau and Kaiteri and pick us all up. The paddle back was spectacular. The weather was great and there was hardly a breath of wind.
The Abel Tasman is unbeatable on a nice day, we really lucked out with the weather!
