First I must make a few apologies over our accommodation here in Stewart lsland. As the arrival and departure window was so large at 10 days we had to go cheap, more than $100 a night would have meant a new mortage. Now after Sally and Rob plus invited extras have left I have successfully fixed the oil heater, the washing machine and the water flow in the shower so the last few days have been warm and comfy for Bill and myself. Sorry Steve, Megan, Sally and Rob. Our A-frame accommodation is nolonger a dump, still no dryer so I have a huge pile of washing to do somewhere on the way to Napier.
I must also say a special thanks to Beverley, who was Coppelia's host here on the island. Rob loves his food and Sally likes nothing more than dry socks and your help providing both is very much appreciated. Please send us an email, Sally will be happy to point to some real help with any future environmental submissions.
Today we journied to Ulva island, It's one of a very few island sanctuaries the public is actually allowed to visit. Lots of native birds, bush and southern weather (wind, sun, rain in 10 minute bursts), well worth the $20 return ferry. The sand fly numbers are low on the island, Bill walked the entire track system with no problems so if you make it down this far there are no excuses.
