. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Today steffixx and me spent another wonderful day here in NZ while driving from Okiwi Bay to Nelson and back. We parked the car close to the coordinates, took a photo of this nice "welcome" painting and found the cache immediately without attracting any attention to anybody , cause there was nobody driving or cycling or walking by... Lucky us! Yippie - another found in New Zealand!! A big thank you to gkmlb for leading us here and showing this place and of course also for maintaining this cache here on site!Best wishes from the North Sea, Germany, from Cuxine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ________________oooooooo____________oooooooooooooo_________oooooooooooooooooo________oooooooooooooooooooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo____oooooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo___ooo__ooo_______oooooooooooooooooooo__oooo____oo________oooooooooooooooooooooooo_________oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo_oooo_______oooooooooooooooooo________ooooo___ooooooooooooooooooooooo_________oo_ooo____oooooooooooooooooooooooooo_____oooooooo__ooo_oooooo__________oo___oooo_______ooo__ooo_ooo______oooo__ooo_______oooo___ooo__ooo___ooooo___ooo_____ooo___ooo____oo____ooo____oooooo__ooo____ooooooo____________ooo_____ooooo____ooo

Quick find. Forgot pen so couldn’t write on it. Will be back to add

Out for a drive with Agazo today. Agazo found the cache while I was still wondering if it was on my to find list. TFTC

Marchwood and I are out today driving up to French Pass finding caches. This was our first stop to recover a bit from the winding roads. TFTC

Enjoyed the artwork but didn't find the cache.

Cache was missing, has now been replaced, thank you tonyb12 for replacing it while you were passing

Second attempt today, and still no find. With broken glass around we didn't want to poke our fingers around too much, but we suspect it has gone. Great view from here.

Quick find. TFTC

Thanks great view

Tftc, easy welcome

This was fun to find and fast.

Quick park and grab now that the cache is back in business! TFTC!

Nice n easy find on our way out of okiwi, TFTC

Are we having bad day. Second DNF today. With Crickethawea

Thank you. Log a bit wet. Awesome view

Found after a walk through Goat track. No goats but a huge amount of fresh pig sign, what a mess. Enjoyed the walk. TFTC

Found with helnel123

Easy find on a walk around the bay to the wharf. TFTC

Indtsnr find today. A nice section for sale just next door.... probably mega bucks though.

I found the container open without a logbook in the grass.

With a new piece of paper, we hid it underneath.

Auch hier bin ich auf meiner Neuseelandrundreise lang gekommen und ich danke allen Owner für Ihre Mühe.

Quick find after traversing the Goat Hill Track. Be carful not to disturb an animal hunting trap placed in close proximity to the cache.

Lovely way to welcome folks!

Easy find

Easy find on a hunt at Okiwi Bay. TFTC

Staying NZMCA park for 2 nights. Magic spot. Need some good mtb'ing tracks. Tftc

Speedy find after we walked up the hill. Tftc

Parked up to walk up the hill first as there was someone here waiting for a lift. Found once we got back down. Tftc

Quick find thanks

Thought the location would be around about here and sure enough a quick find, TFTC

Certainly a colourful and well styled welcome sign.

Cache quickly found with all in good order.

Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache.

Nice art Work.

quick find and sign while in the bay for the day Thanx4tc

Just when you think you're all alone on a gloomy winter's day, Muggles appear out of nowhere. The secret is safe though!

Easy park and grab

The Seagnoid needs a cache today and I have Whero (a little friend) with me for the day. So we are off for a treasure hunt at Okiwi Bay.
Hey love this fish tank. Fun naming all the fishes. Easy find for Whero here but alas no treasure. Cheers

Taybeedragon, six year old Whero and I are chasing one of my calendar days. I am trying to get my calendar up to four caches per day. And I need to save the remaining Blenheim caches for mid-week. So we came here.

Love this fish tank! I recognised some of the fish: snapper, john dory, gurnard. The shark alas is generic - there are no sharks with four gills. Fun though!

Off to Okiwi bay for a days fishing ,while my husband went fishing I went caching,had to check up on Paddle Chicks cache so I did this one on the way back .A quick easy find. Tftc gkmlb

Today it came down to a two hour walk or a drive taking a similar length of time. The passenger decided he wanted to come too so that only left the drive option. So when the cricketers went off for lunch we went off for our drive and cache only we couldn't find that one further up in the bushes so we ended up here instead. This spot has been crying out for a cache. I had anticipated we would be here on a gorgeous sunny day for a picnic but happy to take the smilie no matter the weather. TFTC # 10,210

Took some time out today to go for a drive and find some caches. Second cache of the day. No problems here. Found the cache in the first place I checked. A quick visit to Okiwi Bay and then back out to the main road again. TFTC, Biggles.

Thanks for the (sunny) welcome and easy find......and thanks for the cache.

Unusually for us, we had not been to Okiwi Bay during the recent holidays. In fact, we realised today we had not been caching in the area since 2013. So it made a good plan B when we decided Lake Rotoiti would be too busy today for comfort. We were surprised to be second to find this cache as well. It made a good start to the day.
Thanks.

Todays plan was a return trip to French Pass after our whirlwind trip over there on New years Day (or should that be hurricane-strength trip?) Leaving home at 0700 on what promised to be a hot day of over 30 degrees I had a timing to be met and, being a good military man, was determined not to be late to meet up with caching buddies Ricardinho.nz and Jojo over at the French Pass camp-site. Together we grabbed the few missing caches of mine from the French Pass area, then a road-trip to the end of the road at Bulwer. 16 caches found and some beautiful views along the way too, nice.
First up here for this newly listed cache. I wondered if it would survive a FTF opportunity till I passed and I was in luck and found a pristine and blank log-book at 0830, yay [FTF]{FTF}(FTF)*FTF* the streak continues.
Lovely art-work here and some great depictions of de fish.

FTF at 0830 today, more later
