I punted yesterday after going on a punting trip through the park. The dude let me drive for a bit. It's pretty easy in theory - you just push against the bottom of the river. Though I couldn't keep the boat straight, and I gave the pole back to its rightful owner after a few minutes.
Here I am!
Off to go farming in a few hours about half an hour outside of Christchurch, not sure what sort of internet she has there, and was not able to get a car just yet (may not get one for a month or so), so may not report back for the next week. We'll see.
Ah, that makes sense then. Because normally, when one punts, it's because they're playing football or they've given up and taken a different course. Now I understand.......... although, I suppose you're going to have to learn all kinds of weird phrases from those Kiwis!
