    I know. Dirty job but some ones got to do it.
    I was invited on this trip last minute and couldn't refuse the offer. I am very fortunate to be able to take advantage of opportunities like this.

    This is big. If I was in SI, I would like to trade for the head, bladder, spine and liver with ammo or something else.
    So be it

    Blanket Bay. Yeah. Drop off point for the crays. The Island has fresh water on tap piped across from Secretary Island.

    Yes, circled the place about 12 years ago. Appeared deserted that day.
    Always wondered what the arrangement was given its in a national park.

    I enjoyed Doubtful more than the tourist ridden Milford. (ha ha even though I was also a tourist)

    Always like to be there. Last time it was because weather, the road to the power station was not fit. Very nice fish and crayfish.
    So be it
