2008 1/26 Sea Kayaking in the Tasman Sea


We are part of an organized tour that will spend the next 3 days kayaking and walking the Abel Tasman National Park.

Today was our first attempt at sea kayaking and it was very interesting. Our journey started at Motueka where we launched our kayaks and followed the coastline, ending at Torrent Bay. We were on the water about 4 1/2 hours and were ready to be on dry land when the day had come to an end. We managed to stay dry and not capsize our kayak, but waves sure seem much larger at eye level than they appear from a boat.

We enjoyed a nice dinner with our fellow kayakers and the walking group, then it was time for lights out.

We plan to join the walking group tomorrow, as kayaking is not really our thing. We're glad we tried it, but if Nancy's gonna be in the ocean, she needs a bigger boat!
