Cook Strait

Cook Strait is the strait between the North Island and South Island of New Zealand. It is named after James Cook who was the first European to sail it. On the north side of the strait is the harbour of Wellington. On the south side are the Marlborough Sounds. There are daily ferry services between the harbour of Picton[?] in the sounds and Wellington, however the sea is often rough due to strong winds.
