Sailing to the Marlborough Sounds is always an adventure! During this trip we holed up in the small marina at Havelock for a couple of nights waiting for some wild weather to pass through. We woke up to a damp and foggy morning, and watched these islands and headlands emerge from the fog as we sailed back up Pelorus Sound.

This painting reminds me of time spent at a little bay just north of the Anchorage in the Abel Tasman. A perfect spot for swimming, and we had it all to ourselves. I spent an hour watching clouds drift across this headland. One of those perfect summer holidays!
