    Awesome Tasman, Another great video, I gotta say that your exploits around the country in the dinghy are outstanding as is your diving and also your stamina climbing all over the place, in my opinion you are the top adventurer in New Zealand given how you do it on such a low budget.

    Amazing Adventure. It looks so cold and you're still walking around in your jandals and shorts, hats off :) It was also very funny seeing good old Josh James showing up, haha.

    Oh my goodness this brought tears to my eyes. In 1975 and 76 I got the enormous privilege of spending months working with a close friend doing geology field work in Dusky. That last shot of your campsite on Mt Pender - well it leapt exactly out of my memory like it was yesterday - I remember cooking up a lunch one afternoon on that exact spot. Such a stunning view.
    Thank you so much for bringing this back to life. You have no idea how impressed I am with what you are doing!

    • @NZWildAdventures
      @NZWildAdventures  4 місяці тому

    A truly great small boat adventure at the southern end of the south island of New Zealand. Excellent quality video and views of the southern fjords. Diving, spear fishing and just fishing as well. Thanks Tasman what a start - a bit gnarly in Foveau and Pysugeur though. The weather gods are with you.

Though I was watching the weather for a good few weeks, passing up on a June opportunity since it was a little windy, pushing it to early July. Definitely a bit bumpy in places but I've had a lot worse 🤣. Thanks mate!

      Amazing aye, I got so lucky with the lack of rain 😁. Agreed about the plastic crap, bit disappointing... cheers!
