The wild west coast of New Zealand is real adventure boating. An afternoon boating is often a multi-sport experience. Hokitika local Tim Abbott and his brother Mike, hit the Styx at nice levels.
This involved eating a steak and cheese pie…
4WD mission up the valley,
Â
A hour walking through rainforest
, Â
 Then the goods, an hour of steep boulder gardens..
     Â
This is my new back yard, looking forward to some time on the Wet West Coast…
