Stingray at Hataitai Beach

HI there

The first stingray for the swimming season was spotted yesterday, near the deck steps.  It was bad enough that we had those little bitty seaweed things in the water last week....  The saucer-sized clear jellyfish with the orange middle haven't made their appearance yet. 

a NIWA guy once told me not to step my feet when walking in the water but to scuff my feet in the sand.  This way a stingray knows you're approaching because of the sand flurry.  By stepping, you could step right on him (they like to burrow under the sand).
