Harvesting Kuta and KieKie

 Yesterday NHK went to lake Ianthe to collect kuta and we got soaked trying to get them. We brought scissors to cut the kuta but we didn't use them, we just pulled them out. There was some kuta that wasn’t too deep in the water that I got. But the water was pretty cold but before we did anything we did karakia to start and after getting the kuta we also had a swim. So all of us had a feed after our swim and then we harvested some kiakia. We have to strip the green parts off and keeped the yellow parts.
