Whoa – chilly start to the morning in Picton with our first frost of the winter.  However we always know that that means a beautiful sunny day which is exactly what we have for our sea kayakers as they head out for a 2 day paddle today.  Cleaning muddy mountain bikes is another seasonal activity as you can see!
