Unsafe at any speed.

Well we have had our first personal injury on our travels. The wind was blowing strongly from the South West this morning. The sailors and Mike were waiting round for a drop in strength and a change in direction which usually happens around midday. Lorna conned one of the local lads into letting her have a ride on his motor scooter. The car park was not quite large enough and she managed to ride into the steel rail fence! There was almost no damage to the bike and no discernable marks on the fence. Lorna managed to take a lump of skin off the bottom of her big toe, bruise her sternum and there is a lump above her left eye. Her left foot is also swollen. There were several comments about acting ones age and not being teenagers. After first aid was administered Mike was able to take the sailors out for a last session, returning to the ramp just as the Southerly came back with a vengeance. Funny weather this Nelson stuff but nowhere near as bad as in other parts of the country.
After filling the water tanks and emptying the waste we are now in the motor camp at Havelock where we (Mike) will do the washing and tidy up before we move on towards Blenheim. We are booked to go whale watching on Tuesday. Hope the foot is better.
