'Evening Sky - McNeill Bay'

The waters surrounding these islands and islets have

been the scene of many marine disasters in our

maritime history here on the south Island.

Rough ground that can go from several feet to a hundred

in short order. As well tides that can reach 6-7 knots

make for tricky navigation in the best of conditions, add

in 30 or 40 knots of wind, darkness and

mariners beware.

Fortunately standing as I was on firm ground in late

afternoon sun, painting this piece was not fraught

with such concerns.

Wishing you all 'fair winds and following seas'.
