Today started out miserable and overcast, but by noon the clouds were clearing and the scenery on the improve. This is The Doc’s last day based at Picton.
The Doc has been told a sound is different from a fiord. Sounds being eroded by rivers and then melting ice raises the sea level and floods the sound. A fiord in contrast is eroded by a glacier. As a general rule fiords are much deeper than sounds.
