Nelson Haven.

My home town. It's called Nelson Haven for good reason. Once behind the boulder bank small vessels and large are safe from the open sea. I painted this looking from the marina towards Atawhai.

It was a cold but clear day with little wind. Actually it was quite warm in the sun after a while, although it got cold again later.

I thought that the small yacht sitting on the hard near the Maitai River had found a good spot to rest and wait for the tide.
