"Just hand me your bike and I’ll let you know if I need any help," says Port to Port Cruises and Wildlife Tours owner and operator Rachel McGregor, as about half a dozen of us load our bicycles on her boat at Port Chalmer’s Back Beach jetty.
It’s a sunny winter’s day and McGregor is providing the vital aqua-taxi link for my ride around some of Otago Harbour’s shared path cycle/walkway as it nears completion.
McGregor’s almost 9m-long MV Sootychaser operates as a harbour ferry and also offers wildlife cruises in the outer harbour.
