Wowser, the New Sea Land continues to surprise me and da Sky. Last weekend when we celebrated Matariki, the Māori New Year, we saw some pretty big beasts! One of them barked but he certainly didn’t look like us canines. They smell different too. And I believe their mamas should give them some skin meds as some of them scratched and scratched.

We all kept a safe distance. Luckily, the Big Eye was able to zoom to infinity without ever touching da beasts so that they can now touch you. When it was time to go home we waved our goodbyes.

Happy Matariki!
