Rain, Rain!

Just keeps on coming! I heard on the radio news that Cook's Strait is now down to 9 metre swell! Was 14 metres yesterday! That is a big wave! That's about 40 feet high! Surfers would love that but a bit cold I suspect. My old naval dad said the Cook's Strait was the nastiest piece of sea he ever encountered on the days that it decided to be a bitch. Otherwise it can be very pretty. The rivers are rising and rain in the hills won't reach us down here for a day or two. Well, I suppose it's winter and that's what happens in winter.
