With the ship out of sea lobster

My friend and I Laney all the way to play all over the South Island of New Zealand, finally came to the Kaikoura (Kaikuora) of the sperm whale and the lobster's hometown. Kaikuora in Maori is eating lobster means, but directly into the a la carte restaurant seems a little too boring, so Laney and I decided to join the local team, personally to catch crayfish.

Leisurely look at the sea is a popular way of life in Kaikoura

For one and a half hour flight, a relatively large local shipping companies generally receive NZ $100 per person, the boat Gerald charges 75 yuan, plus his service was good, so we selected him. The boat ride the wind and waves towards the sea, although the storm has slowed down a lot than early in the morning, but a wave after wave of ups and let my heart very uncomfortable, has been vomiting in less than half an hour. "All right, then." Xu is already accustomed to seeing customers seasick scenes, Gerald only handed over a vomit bag, continues to ships bound for deep seabed.

The sea is the Kaikoura Town Tourism retention program

The sea has no signs and road signs, Gerald only on a compass to find the day before placing the lobster cage place, see the red ball where he is floating, where to stop, and then the crew will pull together the cage, the cage has twenty red lobster in living jumping - this is the eve of the harvest. The lobster is poured into the box, Gerald in the cage down bait, and then again will be thrown into the sea in the cage.
