Kayak Marlborough Sounds 26-28 February
An extended weekend kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds. Friday - We took a water Taxi to Ships Cove. Loaded up our rental kayaks and hit the water. Lunch was had at School House Bay. We liked it so much that we flagged kayaking for the day and decided to set up camp. Saturday - We headed south out of Resolution Bay. We had lunch at the Bay Of Many Coves Resort. Our camp for the night was at Ratimeara Bay. Sunday - A fantastic day paddling back to Picton.
