What a difference it made to get out of the strait and into the Marlborough Sounds. About 3/4 of the way through the trip (should have been about 2/3 but the big swells had made the
crossing quite slow and behind schedule), we were relieved to have the shelter of Arapawa Island and the various craggy peninsulas jutting out from where Picton and the ferry terminal lie nestled at the bottom of Queen Charlotte Sound. Nothing like getting out on deck for warm air and phenomenal scenery to make the tummy stop churning (ginger beer acquired first thing upon arriving in Picton helped too). A few photos.
