Day 2 / Cook Strait



Southern Ocean is probably most hostile and unfriendly basin of water on our planet. Further south you go, more wind, rain waves and other nice stuff like that you can expect. Cook Strait is no exception. This narrow extent of water lies between North and South islands of New Zealand. Some people say it is possible to see blue sky and calm water down there. Let’s pretend we believe them. When we were about to cross Cook Strait in our way to South island this summer, I’ve found an interesting information in the net. Sometimes they cease ferries between Wellington and Picton, but only if waves are higher than 14 meters!.. That day ferry was on, but sea was rough enough to let us see the entire power of Southern ocean.
