By some miracle, I was awake early and walking on the beach before seven this morning. Not a breath of wind and clear blue skies. Watched an Interislander ferry enter the heads and glide slowly its dock, while the Eastbourne ferry seemed to race across the harbour by comparison. This summer I am aiming to make it to Sommes Island on just such a morning. Christmas Eve Eve - and the pohutukawa trees in Petone continue to delight. This particular one is right by my house. So sad to hear that, while we have had such a perfect day here, Christchurch has been rocked yet again.
Yes the mornings have been perfect for kayaking too, but by the time we get home that unseasonable sou'wester has come up.
