SO being somewhat anchored down in Dunedin, with a crew of peers who are mostly breeding... it is amazing we actually get to go kayaking at all....
07' proved to be one out of the box and the rains falling around Otago. This year has proved quite dry, El Nino giving us the usual perscription. I take solace in the fact that some of the biggest rain and snow events in our relativly short history in NZ have occurred in the El Nino phases.
So here is hoping.
Anyway thanks to all you folks for last years adventures. Expect a txt when the rain start falling.
Also better get your skiis waxed!

Times are a Changn'.............
Well it has been some time since the last post. Some may think that, no posting equals nothing happening, it would be an erroneous assumption.
There has been a lil' bit of kayaking. the drought down here on the east coast of the south island has pretty much kept boating as something you do when you are dreaming.
I have found it an interesting time with many issues involving rivers and kayaking taking up a lot of my thoughts.
the Proposed hydro projects on the Mokihinui, Waitaha, Nevis.......
Along with the bureaucracy of DOC on a pathway to increase the controls of aerial access in the reviewing of the Mount Aspiring National Park Plan
So now we can lose access to classic rivers by the placement of a full stop, comma and deleting of words.. I wonder why all this change, which lobby group is kicking up the stink to promote these upcoming changes.. but of course the new document will contain the ubiquitous clause "that allows flights for doc tasks and hut maintanence" In some of these valleys i wonder if it is those flights on doc business that are the ones that people are complaining about. So now it is the recreationalists that are about to lose out, as there few and far between flights are cut out.
Wow i just started raving..
more on the Mt Aspiring Park plan later
Cheese, Butter, All food ...... Expensive..
Oh yes its all connected, kayaking and the price of cheese
coming back soon
