Boating

Last weekend was perfect weather for boating.  The hut at Green Gorge needed a new wind turbine, so we used the opportunity to take out the Zodiacs.

The water is ice-cold, so it's dry suits all around.  Not very comfortable, though.

We had two boats in the water, one with Ben, Ian, and Barry; the other with myself, Sharon, and Rod (with a bit of switching around at Green Gorge).

Here's a bit of scenery on the way down the coast.  Green Gorge is about a 45 minute ride by boat - or a 5 hour hike by land.

The Green Gorge hut is in a spectacular location that is very popular with the King penguins.

They seem very happy to get some company.  Here they are crowding around Ian and Rod.

And me.

And one more.
