The Sounds

I've been in the Marlborough Sounds for 3 days.

Stayed at my Aunty and Uncle's place in Yncyca Bay which is off Pelorus Sound. We slept in a loft, ate amazing food, kayaked, collected mussels, had hot showers thanks to a wood fire, had lights thanks to a solar panel and a hydro generator and were very isolated thanks to the 40 minute boat ride!


The Jetty and the boat that took us and our kayak's out around
the point so we only had to go one way


Amazing water


Despite the isolation, we ate well!



An old 4WD forestry jeep Uncle Ben uses to lug stuff around the property.
It has amazingly low gears, stick it in first and it'll idle up hill!
