Driving down to French Pass, looking over Golden Bay. You can just see the hills of Motueka in the distance, and the point of D'Urville Island on the right. French Pass is the narrow channel of water between the island and the mainland.

French Pass on the right.


You can see the turbulence of the water in the Pass. We did get up close in the boat, and it is fascinating to see what the water does - it swirls and rushes in great whirlpools and irregular white horses.

Dolphins! Sam and I got very close to them in our Canadian canoe one evening.
