To die for...

And I nearly did :-(. Took a drive to Westport today and decided to go to the seal colony and The Bay House cafe. In my stupidity I went to take some photos of the rocks at the side of the beach, thought it would have a cool photo with the waves crashing up against them. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention to the strength of the tide. Within seconds I was heading head first into the water after a series of waves caught me off balance trying to hold TJ's camera aloft trying ( unsuccessfully to keep the camera from being drowned ) and cushioning my fall with the other arm. Both the camera and I got a thorough soaking and a bruise the size of my hand on my shin/knee area. But the knee is the least of it, going to go to Nelson tomorrow to try and get the camera fixed :-(.... And to top it off the bay house cafe was shut no fish & chips for us!
