Just returned to Nelson after a fantastic ride up along the northeastern coast, wine country, of the Tasman Sea. Camped, kayaked and then camped again up against the Abel Tasman National Park. Spent yesterday paddling around Fisherman and Adele Island, tramping up and over one of the ridges and down to Torrent Bay, then kayaking back along a handful of the golden beaches preceeding the town of Marahau. Saw New Zealand sea lions, penquins, oystercatchers and herons. Lucked out on the weather once again. Saw an amazing moon rise from the camp shore, large, bold and bright yellow as it came over Adele Island casting its glow over the sea. Seemed like you could reach out and grab it. Off for Kaikoura along the eastcoast on a long early ride tomorrow. Should be there in three days or so.
