I took these photos when we visited Pilots Beach at Taiaroa Head, at the end of Otago Peninsula. Near Dunedin, New Zealand. Taken 10 / 10 / 2020.
We’d popped down to the beach after visiting the Albatross Centre and Cafe.
The first boat is probably one that does dredging in the harbour. The second boat takes visitors on wildlife cruises.

It does look windy, and lots of whitecaps. That could have provided quite a ride for the enthusiasts.

Lovely trip I bet. Would love to do that trip again, long time since we’ve done it.

Ah, that feels good – blue skies and the seaside – just heavenly! Hopefully by next summer we’ll be able to get back to the beach! Looks like you must have had a good day out. 🙂

It was exceedingly windy outside but sheltered down at this beach. (This was the same day I took the photos of the big marine-theme lightshades in the cafe) .. we had a great time 🙂

I’m sure they do Jean .. thank you for stopping by. At your blog I’ve enjoyed seeing how beautifully you paint bird eggs – the paintings in your Nov 22 post are exquisite! Here’s the link for anyone who wants to see what I mean: https://jeanmackayart.com/2020/11/22/mutual-exchange/

I presume the Monarch isn’t named for the butterfly, but it’s still appropriate for a boat that carries wildlife enthusiasts.
