Operation clean up at Chaddy’s Charters after the big storms we’ve had over the past few weeks. A bit of TLC and love needed for our trust old Rescue III and her boat ramp. Question is…. How many men does it take do useful stuff?? 😂
gosh kids are demanding! - a little bit of penguin-in-the-boat-shed antics from last night.
The fluffier one is the baby, due to leave the nest sometime this week. The other one has been out all day catching food to fatten baby up. It will be getting chipped so we can see if he comes back next year. whether it decides to nest in the boat shed is another matter!
Stingray hanging out on our ramp this morning.
Did you know they can grow up to 6.5ft, weight 3/4 tonne, Odysseus (Greek god) was killed by a stingray, their venomous tail is lethal to humans (RIP Steve Irwin) and their biggest enemy is the Orca (often cone into the port to round them up and have a feast!)
Chaddy used to feed the stingrays and so they were a common feature down here but when his wife started swimming everyday he stopped.
We occasionally chuck the odd Kahawhai carcass out on the ramp but don’t actively feed them so it’s pretty special when they come say hi.
