Advice on kayaking the Motueka River?
Hello, I'm new to the area and can't find much information online about kayaking on the Motueka river. I have a 2+1 sit-on kayak and a couple of kids that are adventurous but not keen to do too much whitewater. Since it is summer (less water) I assume a nice leisurely paddle would be relaxing and fun. My wife could drop us off and then pick us up downriver. I'm just not sure where good put-in and take-out points would be. Also, will the water be high enough the whole way? Can I avoid whitewater? If anyone has advice please share, thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I paddled down from Peninsular Road in Ngatimoti to the bridge at Alexander Bluff Road. It was a beautiful hour-long paddle with a few little rapids. There was enough water to paddle (in January at least) and the rapids weren't too scary for my daughter.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
