Day 4 camp cameo

"We are now entering the cook straight there will be 4 metres swells and we ensure you to find somewhere to sit"
Oh did you hear that we better go back up to our gear find a place to sit and get comfortable while we go through the cook straight. We sat down and started to chat but then suddenly the boat started to go up and down up and down my stomach Instantly began to tighten And my head started to lighten was going to be sick. It was a very long trip I slept a little bit of the way I was outside a little bit of the way but most of the way I was looking out at the horizon sucking ice it probably was one of the worst boat rides I have ever had but it was still fun at the same time it was like going on a roller coaster!!!



Camp cameo - day 3

The wind blew in my hair my toes over the edge of the bat our eyes beamed at the water in search for the very rare hectors dolphin.it was dead quite. All of sudden a little round black fin appeared out of the blue then we realized that it was a hectors dolphin.all around me every body gasped. this is what we had come to see! I felt very lucky to see the hectors dolphin. One of them was very playful and loved to spin around and jump everyone giggled and laughed then we saw a mother and its calf it was very little. Afterwards the guide showed us pictures of the calf in the mums tummy. Every whanau group got up and some karaoke my group sang up town funk and we won the prize. I learnt lots on the dolphin watch tours boat it was one of the best experiences I have ever had.

Camp cameo - day 2

MORNING
I hop in the boat with my best buddy Hannah. It was her first time in a sail boat but I have a catamaran at my beach house in Kinloch\Taupo that I go out on with my dad. But of course a sail boat is little bit smaller and I only do the rope work. 
This time I am doing the steering but there is no wind so we are not moving so I use the steering paddle to move back and forward back and forward. It goes making us move along slowly. We get to the red buoy, then I steer us around it and back. 
When we finally get back to the jetty I have a go on a SUP board. It took me a little while to be able to stand up but I got the hang of it.

AFTERNOON
I hop in a sail boat with another friend, Jayda.
There is much more wind out there compared to this morning
"We're going too fast!"
"It's going to tip ... Aaahhhh"
"Calm down. It's ok. Just let go of the rope then the boat will stop."
Once I got control again I tightened the rope and sail back to shore





Camp cameo - day 1

We hopped off the Cougar line boat at the Lochmara Lodge. It had birds, llama, pigs, chickens, kaka and more.
We hoped that the rain would hold off but that couldn't stop us. Around every corner was more art to be found ... hammocks, shoes, blocks  and more as we walked through an outdoor art gallery.
Sweat dibbled down my face as I walked up the Queen Charlotte track ... oh what ... that was rain!
