Boating the Tasman

We got close and personal with the ice today.  A howling wind came through during the night with driving rain. It cleared well enough for them to OK our trip which had been put on hold.  Then it all cleared but the wind was still up.  The lake is 5km long, The bergs float to the exit point so travel down the lake for 5km but can move around via the wind.  I had the Gopro out the whole time but my fingers were suffering from the spray.  Put this on your bucket list. In the afternoon we went up the Hooker Valley in rain and hail.  Was this really the same day?
