Water Sight
What a sight (or to pun it - water sight). A spectacular waterspout off the Kapiti coast yesterday amazed residents as it snaked off the sea, causing heavy rain and dropping hailstones as big as marbles. This is an unusual sight around these parts. Taranaki is the region that often gets these as well as mini-tornadoes. As for Kapiti, we shall be going to Kapiti Island in March with Rotary. As numbers per day are limited and Department of Conservation permits are required it will be a great opportunity. I know that as a predator free area we must all go through a rodent check before landing.
