This is the small boat taking visitors to the Warship, HMS Otago which is moored offshore from the Oamaru Harbour, NZ. It was well organised with passengers having to wear sensible shoes and fitted with a helmet with a visor.

Paul will be interested in the Burt Munro Challenge ones. I didn't look at the "personal" ones, just the general ones. Found them very interesting.
The one most surprising memory of South Island in particular on our first visit was the turquoise water, it was so beautiful. Things never change as it's still as vivid as ever, something to do with the ice crystals we were told?
@happypat In the glacial lakes, the colour is like this and is caused by ground glacial crystals but other lakes such as Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown is ordinary lake colour. The sea water here is often this colour particularly when the sky is blue. It was beautiful here this day, Pat!
