Mussels on rocks at Punakaiki
We have taken a camp site at Omihi camp on the coast at Kaikoura.Have to pay here but we have plugged into the power and think $26 dollars per day ok for 3 or 4 days. Got set up and dived straight into the water to find a feed of Paua. Quite difficult in the swell again but managed to put 6 in the bag which is the limit here. At 125mm for a legal paua you have to cover a bit of ground to find them.When i got in to the edge i remeasured and found 2 where borderline legal so they were returned to the sea.
Cooked them up in garlic and butter and savoured every mouthful.After dinner we went up to the farm and saw Sean and Michelle and Troy. Dropped off the scuba gear there as well so i could safely continue diving for paua.Dont want trouble with fisheries inspectors.
Sean has been taking the boat out regularly and doing well on the deep water species.
It was really nice going to bed and hearing the sea crashing on the rocks about 12 meters from the rig.
Cool Pics, I love Pancake Rocks, such an amazing place. I hope the tide was in when you were there.
