Flight over the Marlborough Sounds

I went for a nice scenic flight over part of the Marlborough Sounds today. You'll see from the photos that the weather looked awesome, although with the gentle breeze around, there was a bit of turbulence at times. all fun though - nothing too jarring.

The photos sum it up pretty nicely... I'm sure you will agree that it's an incredibly scenic part of the country and it's one I always enjoy flying over. Top to bottom we have:
