The tide was out and the beach was huge. Just as I was wondering how far we'd have to walk to reach the seawall, the water taxi lurched and its engine stopped.
We heard a wench running, then, a tractor throttled up and we went on. They drove the full water taxi right up onto a trailer and a tractor was pulling us along the sand.
We were back! (You can see another boat/trailer/tractor behind us to our left.)
We were wet. The wind was strong and cold.
The car was in direct sun--nice and warm.
We drove to Nelson. We didn't know that we were landsick. The up/down/left/right driving felt natural after spending 26 hours on water. It would hit us in the restaurant.
