Have had a busy few days in Dunedin, shopping, sightseeing and re-provisioning. Also enjoyed a trip on the Tairei Gorge Express yesterday which is a half day train trip from Dunedin to Middlemarch, a distance of about 77km. Fantastic scenery through the gorge and into the Central Otago plains. Not much happens in Middlemarch but it is the beginning of the Central Otago Rail Trail which is a great 3 day cycle ride. Thats one on the "to do" list.
We are heading out of Dunedin harbour now. We are taking advantage of a forecast which is excellent for the next few days and heading directly to Port Pegasus on Stewart Island which is at the southern end of the island. We should arrive Port Pegasus around 1700 tomorrow evening - about a 25-26 hour trip.
We will be out of communication now for some time so don't expect to see any activity or hear anthing from us for the next few weeks, however if by any chance i get some coverage i will certainly let you all know what we are up to.
I hope to bring you reports of more fish, crayfish and scallops..
Bye for now
Kate and Pete

Whew, just checked the blogsite to check on your progress as was wondering if you where still in Lyttleton or Akaroa. Port Pegaus is a much better place. Have you found the smugglers cove yet?? Looking forward to your blogsite update. Have fun keep safe. Graham
Hi Graham
