Boat trip to Kapiti

Yesterday Nick & I were planning to do the Rimutaka Incline on bikes, but my flatties asked if we wanted to join them on a boat trip - how could we refuse?!

After a few waffles (it was Waffle Sunday after all) we headed out towards the coast

Destination: the south end of Kapiti Island

Chris is starting to look VERY pregnant, however Nick's new wideangle lens seems to distort my head and diminish her stomach :P
The main aim of the trip was to get Paua but Nick and I were just along for the ride and the snorkel
Richard was down from Aucks and he and (flattie) Nick had been on a massive 4 day hunting trip. Therefor he decided to 'make his own kind of music' wearing a mix of blase camo fleece, wetsuit and of course the obligatory crocs... *shudder*

Pulling the boat out


We reached the south end of the island after a not-too-bumpy ride


Nick's scared of the camera but I got us both in a cool reflective one :P


ooOOOoo

Video of most of it: (Richard's talking about one of the huts they stayed in on their hunting trip)

The way back was rather more bumpy cause the wind was up a bit. I was at the front and I think I got more salt water in my face on the 15 min motor back to the shore than the whole time I was actually under the water! Very 'refreshing' but I was happy to get back to dry land!
