    As we neared Havelock on our way back in, the ridges just fade off into the distance. What a great day!: by taylortreks, Views[222]
         		 ... or further out.: by taylortreks, Views[190]
         		 The views were great whether you were up close...: by taylortreks, Views[228]
         		 But trees always made an appearance somewhere.: by taylortreks, Views[231]
         		 The terrain became more rocky near the mouth of the sound.: by taylortreks, Views[252]
     
    Wooded landscape dominated the terrain near Havelock.: by taylortreks, Views[141]
         		 Then we caught some choppy water as we got out in the main Pelorus Sound.: by taylortreks, Views[147]
         		 Not quite a mirror reflection out there, but close.: by taylortreks, Views[262]
         		 Then a slight ripple on the surface.: by taylortreks, Views[161]
         		 On our way out, the water was near dead calm.: by taylortreks, Views[206]
     
    A view up Kenepuru Sound.: by taylortreks, Views[147]
         		 Maybe the owner wanted a tropical feel next to his box house. The sections were built in
         		 Lookit! There's palm trees hiding in there!: by taylortreks, Views[179]
         		 You'd think there might be wind or something that influenced the shape of the tree trunks...: by taylortreks, Views[127]
         		 The rock formations are pretty, too!: by taylortreks, Views[144]
     
    More pretty scenery.: by taylortreks, Views[138]
         		 If you look closely, under the clouds, you can see the outline of the North Island!: by taylortreks, Views[170]
         		 I hope he's keeping a good lookout. These guys wouldn't hear a bomb going off!: by taylortreks, Views[125]
         		 He must be the lookout for these guys.: by taylortreks, Views[154]
         		 Look fast! There's a seal!: by taylortreks, Views[115]
     
    The winds were so calm, this sailboat had to use his motor.: by taylortreks, Views[131]
         		 These were coastal defense gun emplacements from WWII. Very similar to the ones we saw in Bluff, way down south on the South Island.: by taylortreks, Views[168]
         		 Our last stop was at Forsyth Island. Many times people are waiting at the docks to receive or post their mail. Or just trade some gossip.: by taylortreks, Views[201]
         		 Oh! It must be Port Ligar!: by taylortreks, Views[113]
         		 Okay, we've lost count. Which stop is this? Whichever, we dropped off a passenger here. She had to crawl over the top of the bags on the dock. They're full of the
     
    These boys greeted us at our third stop. The sea
         		 You may be away from it all here, but you have a great view out your front yard!: by taylortreks, Views[184]
         		 The male does a mating dance. He waved his neck/head back and forth across his body. It made my neck hurt watching him!: by taylortreks, Views[165]
         		 The female flumps (that's a word, isn't it?) up her feathers.: by taylortreks, Views[161]
         		 We didn't expect to see ostriches while we were stretching our legs. The darker guy up close is the male. The lighter colored ostrich is the female.: by taylortreks, Views[149]
     
    We all took the chance to get off the boat and stretch our legs.: by taylortreks, Views[167]
         		 The first stop is the Pohuenue Nature Preserve. You can come here to get away from it all!: by taylortreks, Views[178]
         		 Pine trees ( a cash crop) can be seen on most of this hill. The native
         		 Many of the hillsides are used to grow timber. A barge is the only way to get the cash crop to the market.: by taylortreks, Views[159]
         		 The barge that harvests the mussels! Those bags on deck are full of mussels.: by taylortreks, Views[148]
     
    On the left – harvested mussels. You can tell because the buoys are riding high in the water. On the right – mussels still growing and waiting to get harvested. The bouys are riding low in the water, due to the weight of the mussels on the line.: by taylortreks, Views[154]
         		 Even the youngest passenger got a chance to drive the boat!: by taylortreks, Views[144]
         		 Yep. It's a mail boat run!: by taylortreks, Views[179]
         		 Here's a map of all the sounds in Marlborough. There are heaps of them!: by taylortreks, Views[220]
         		 Then... suddenly! We're above Picton Harbour. It's busy in summer, but didn't look so busy when we visited in the winter of 2005!: by taylortreks, Views[288]
     
    The road kept winding on and on and on...: by taylortreks, Views[282]
         		 The rocks become even more interesting when you take a closer look.: by taylortreks, Views[231]
         		 The water is clear and the rocks are interesting.: by taylortreks, Views[210]
         		 Nevertheless, the layers are still there to enjoy.: by taylortreks, Views[178]
         		 The perspective changes when viewed from the other direction – near Picton Harbour.: by taylortreks, Views[169]
     
    This view looks up Queen Charlotte Sound from near Ngatuka Bay.: by taylortreks, Views[218]
         		 And there's multiple layers of landscape to savor.: by taylortreks, Views[117]
         		 But you can still find incredible views, especially if you can find a perch up high.: by taylortreks, Views[155]
         		 Trees and vegetation along the road have grown considerably since our 2005 trip. Now it's hard to find a spot to stop and look out on the sound. In 2005, the whole road had an unobstructed view of the sound!: by taylortreks, Views[116]
         		 Momorangi Bay is one of the few villages that has both water and road access.: by taylortreks, Views[229]
