The KINATONIC brewing garden

There was an easterly storm in Waimarama over the weekend, so great time  on Monday for selective harvest of beached Ecklonia Radiata seaweed. See it drying on the fence? The photo shows is the primary start-up working area for preparation of KINATONIC.

And it looks like some further storms coming. From the MetService:
