Went out to Kapiti Island with Conrad today. We paddled South out to WestPoint then back around the South side and up to Waterfall Bay, then back across the channel to Paraparaumu Beach.
The South end of the island is really, pretty, and we left quite early so it was very Jurassic parky. Apart from the occasional fish jumping and a nosy seal there really was not much wildlife. On the West side of the Island there are some spectacular cliffs and rock features.
There was also a cave that we went in which was really, cool. But there were a crazy amount of cave flies. And it sounded rally awesome the water was booming.
We had a lovely paddle back around the South end and up to Waterfall bay. Then we had to ferry glide all the way back across the channel because the tide was stronger than we anticipated. So we were pointed mostly about 20 degrees north of what we were aiming for.
New pages on the website today.

About 8-8:30 in the morning. We had left maybe thirty mins before hand.
May not be able to see it. But just below where the land meets the water there is another line where it the water goes from roughish to calm, we were in the lee of the island.
A private house on Motungarara Island. The commute would be interesting.
Looking North from Westpoint.
Kind of self explanatory.
This is from Waterfall Bay or trickle more likely. This is where we stopped heading North and started Eastwards toward Paraparaumu.
I really didn't want to get stung.
Bluebottle, about the size of a large fist.
