March 3- it was going to be a rainy drizzly day so we decided to help deliver the”mail” and guest to various islands in the Marlborough Sound. We passed by mussel farms. There are over 600 farms which net over 300 million dollars a year. As we sailed we listened to the commentary about the history of the sound.
As we approached the piers where we delivering mail we were greeted by people, dogs, sheep, pigs and a goat. The happy animals were rewarded with treats . It was fun to watch!
We were rewarded with freshly made cinnamon Buns from Hopewell Lodge. Yum
