Images of the South Coast taken this morning at high tide.
The waves were big, but nowhere near as big as the huge
waves of Waitangi Day last year which crashed up and
over the Wellington South Coast Road and which led to the
stranding of the Jody F. Millennium log carrier which
attempted to leave the Gisborne port that day.
