The wild west coast of New Zealand is real adventure boating. An afternoon boating is often a multi-sport experience. Hokitika local Tim Abbott and his brother Mike, hit the Styx at nice levels.

This involved eating a steak and cheese pie…

4WD mission up the valley,

 

A hour walking through rainforest

 

,  

 Then the goods, an hour of steep boulder gardens..

     

      

This is my new back yard, looking forward to some time on the Wet West Coast…
