Sunday morning we went out to Wainamu Beach, just out of Raglan, and watched a very impressive tide coming in. When they talk about a raging sea, that’s a perfect way to describe it. The power of the tide on this morning was fascinating to watch; gave us a very, very wee feeling of what seeing a tsunami might be like. There’s a full moon now, so that may explain some of the power. We went out again in the afternoon and though the tide was out, you could still see the waves crashing out at sea. The beach was littered with shells and stranded jellyfish. We waded out in the little pools to watch crabs running around like pool cleaners, popping into the sand when they felt footsteps. Then suddenly it seemed like someone opened a floodgate and water would start flowing in and pulling out from nowhere. Very weird. You can see how a little kid could get swept out into the Tasman, though people didn’t seem very concerned!
By the way, our neighbour goat is a girl, and her name is Floppy. We know you’ve been wondering! J
