A quiet day here in the antipodes. Went for a longish walk out toward the point and checked out some of the side trails that run from the road up on the ridge down to the ocean on either side of the peninsula. You can go down one, walk the beach at low tide, and head back up the next. Good workout for the legs, and one always sees Oystercatchers on the beach.

TODAY'S TIDBIT

There are no marinas here. All of the boats anchor out. The harbours are fairly shallow with good bottoms. Owners keep small dinghys on the beach and row out to their moorings when they want to go sailing. It makes for a much more natural shoreline, but then again, the open bays are all full of anchored boats.
