It was a great trip and I thoroughly enjoyed myself,It is a great way to see more of Fiordland as opposed to flying into a block for ten days and basicly being stuck in the one area.
A couple of points were a bit annoying tho.
They supply all fishing gear,I dont think Nigel is much into the sport of line fishing.Most of us are avid line fishermen and the gear on board was pretty substandard.....if we had known we would have brought our own gear with us, quite a few of the guys wanted to target bluenose and grouper but the boat had no gear capable of fishing that deep....which was a piss off as we had our own gear we could have brought for that.
Secondly pre trip emails said our catch could be frozen on board then shipped to us for a reasonable cost,so we didnt bring any chillybins but then had to fly our catch out with us as he didnt have room which ment trying to find/buy cheap chilly bins and ice in TeAnau on a Sunday afternoon
Other than that it was Awesome, some of the spots we anchored up in where mindbogglingly beautiful the pictures dont do it any justice at all.
