Day 198 - Foghorn

Foghorn

What does a foghorn look like? We heard one about half an hour ago and quickly went down to the beach (about half a block away), along with a few neighbours from the street, to see what was going on. We saw this boat heading across the harbour and into the fog. It was moving between the Petone foreshore and Matiu/Somes Island, an unusual route for a ship to be taking.

Day 144 - Interislander

Interislander ferry float

Grounded!

I was surprised to see this parade float of the Interislander ferry on terra firma recently. It was created by Westside Studios in Shelly Bay and is one of the many floats, props, and large-scale decorations casually lurking in the area.
