Postcard Photos

We took the boat out yesterday for a spot of fishing and for a picnic lunch over on a little beach near Walter Peak Station (near where the Earnslaw cruise goes to). It was a perfect day for boating - warm sun, blue skies with just a few fluffy white clouds and hardly a breath of wind. Once the morning frost cleared we reached a high of about 17 degrees so very pleasant.

And here are our postcard photos:

The Earnslaw chugging towards Walter Peak Station

Cecil Peak at dusk - these cloud formations made for a pretty sunset but we were busy unloading the boat so didn't get any photos.

The clouds over Ben Lomond

The Earnslaw heading back out again (just below Sunshine Bay)

And last but not least, the golf course and the Remarkables. There will hopefully be snow on them again by the end of the week!

Picnic on the Beach

For Valentine's Day Greg decided to surprise Andrea with a picnic breakfast on a little private beach. He got up early, loaded the camping cooker and gas bottle into the boat, along with pots and pans, plates and cutlery, and of course food and coffee! We had poached eggs on toast with coffee (Greg) and Tea (Andrea). Yum yum!

So here are a few photos of the little beach he found:

And one of the sun coming up over the Remarkables - it was dead flat again this morning, so nice for boating.
