Just noticed the date is North American time; we're a day ahead so it's actually Sunday today here. There's a storm coming at us from across the Tasman. We're supposed to get gale force winds throughout the night. I got up early and caught the sunset over the Habour. After breakfast, we took advantage of the calm and went out to St. Clair beach for a walk and threw a ball around. Lots of surfers out and thankfully no one had to ring the bell! I asked a lifeguard if there was some Maori spiritual reason for the posts lining up directly with White Island. He said, "Years ago, there was a pier there. Lines up by chance. White Island is called that because in some lights it looks white. I reckon it's because of all the bird dung."
