Bad weather forecasts and gale windsocks on every weathermap had me a bit nervous about crossing Cook Strait. The forecast for Wellington, Wednesday was for 'gales abating in the afternoon'. Our crossing was at 2 p.m.
We left David and Ruth's just after 7a.m. and were soon speeding towards Wellington.Doug kept saying that we were going to be far too early - and we were.
Wellington was really clagged in with mist. As we approached the city I was cheered up by this lovely rainbow. It stayed in front of us for quite a while.
There were already lots of other early- birds waiting in the queue, ready to board.
Boarding the Awatere. It was very grey most of the way, but the sea wasn't too stroppy.
Disembarking.
We made the decision to put up the tent as we approached Blenheim. Everything looked very dry and it was fine and sunny. This was only the second time that we had put this tent up so it was bit of a relearning experience. Less said the better!!!!
