Today on our way home from church we stopped on the south side of the Kaikoura Peninsula, called South Bay, to fill a couple of jugs with seawater. The rocks there are extremely jagged, and the layers are at various angles, some curved. What a fascinating sight! There wasn’t much sea life, although I did see a lot of sea anemones open. The tide was coming in, and the water came obviously higher during the half an hour we were there playing on the rocks. The bigger boys were wearing their crocs, so they were able to walk in the water. Joe wanted too, also. Even though he had his church shoes on he ran through the water when we weren’t watching. We must find his crocs and keep them in the van!

[…] Everyone left church a bit earlier than usual this afternoon, and we headed over to South Bay (the south side of the Kaikoura Peninsula). We filled our two jugs with seawater, then explored the rocks for awhile. That area has very jagged layers of white sandstone layers, mostly turned on edge. The tide was coming in, and rose noticeably during the half an hour we were there. For pictures, go here. […]
fantastic pics, Team!! gona try to put them across to my collection. If it don’t work I’ll have to borrow your technician! 🙂
The water looks almost unrealisticly blue!! Beautiful!! Seth is looking a lot like his daddy. 🙂
Rebecca, that’s the way the water looks here. The Pacific Ocean is so gorgeous!
so, maybe you already said and I missed it; but why do you want sea water?
During the winter while we are running the wood stove, we’re boiling sea water to make our own sea salt. I also often cook potatoes in it–free salt, with all the minerals!
