On our last day in Nelson, Friday, March 7, 2014, Jody and I went kayaking with a guided tour guide, Nick, on Cable Bay. What a treat. As usual with New Zealand weather, the early morning started out overcast and then became brilliantly blue and clear as the morning progressed into afternoon. Jody and I paddled a two-seater kayack while Nick narrated our tour around the bay. Just the two of us - what a personal treat. We had a great mid-morning break with Nick on the shore where we discussed politics and many things New Zealand. Nick was a world traveler with the oil industry, but had very strong ecological views.

Jody is thrilled that blue skies have returned.
