sea kayaking (tec)

10 day sea kayaking trip  from the 15 to the 24th of august.
the first day was just traveling to the Able Tasman. the next 3 and a half days we spent paddling up and back down the Able Tasman.We then went over to nelson were we went out and got some freshes for the next 5 days . we then camped out at the Marlborough sounds, and spent the next 4 days paddling up around there. and on the last day we just drove back.
the weather was as good as we could have hoped for.witch made the experience even better.
up the Able Tasman we saw cub seals, soo cute haha. and in the Marlborough sounds we saw a massive boil up seals fish dolphins and birds all going crazy around us. we say the same set of dolphins on the last day too. i bought my hand line and caught around 7 fish,3 blue cod witch 2 were big enough to take.so i had 2 and Brent got 3, we took them on the beach were the others had muscles. Brent filleted his fish and taught me how then i did mine... first time ever doing it,3 near perfect filet's and one av. i was stoked as.
This trip for me had alot of ups and downs but i think that that is what made it such an amazing trip. oh and the 2 instructors Brent(bulet or boyze) and nick(taz) were soo much fun and really made the trip that much better great guys and great instructors.
