This is Bare Island at Waimarama Beach, New Zealand. I have a connection to this place from years of fishing, spearfishing and paua diving around this Island. The sea life here is abundant. Kingies, gurnard, flying fish, killer whales, sunfish, blue penguins, mako sharks, gannets, dolphins and the list goes on. This is my interpretation of the view you get in the early morning when you're out in your boat checking your crayfish pots. It's a place where your life is in your own hands and you need to make your own judgments on how to navigate the weather/swell. The lack of authority out at sea also leads to some people stealing your catch hence the very early start.
