Usually this is what we are used to….

but this past weekend, well…….

it was different.

Seems that quite few folk had the same thoughts……

..and those thoughts….

get going now…… better yet…..

……..get out in front of anyone with similar thoughts!

Even if you didn’t have something that was artificially powered

I mean by petrol or diesel it would seem.

……….courtesy of the white stuff on the top of the hills, like Mt Arthur……it seemed winter actually had arrived…..

….but lets not let that spoil the fun on the water….

….while it lasts.

This is Nelson after all.

But when the heavy traffic artillery arrives….

and traverses The Cut….

then its usually for a very good reason……

….and yes size does have something to do with it?

BUT see that’s the real advantage living here….because as this official Port Nelson shipping schedule (aka "timetable") shows you….there really is at least 97% of the time in each day where you are free to come and go via The Cut…..which it seems most people this past weekend were well and truly aware of?
