Sea Kayaking

Check out the photos I just uploaded to Picassa.  We did a day trip paddle to an island off the west coast of the Coromandel.  Sweet paddling, and then we came to a harbor that no one else ever goes to.  It was a beautiful picnic lunch spot with some good snorkeling too.  Then we climbed up some rocks to where a colony of Gannett birds live.  It was amazing to be able to get so close to the birds, and they just chilled there.  According to Jon no one else really knows about the spot, and certainly no tourists ever get there.  We then got back to the mainland in time for the best sunset so far for me in NZ.
