KIA ORA!

We are in New Zealand! We are very excited to fence, sheer, beekeep, build, dig and play in the dirt - not to mention sail, snorkel, backpack, camp, and beachcomb! Cheerio. Verily, A&W

Sailing Abel Tasman






We have spent the entire day in the sun aboard Alleycat, a well-equiped catamaran, off the coast of Abel Tasman NP so this update will be short and possibly scatter-brained. The work at the blueberry orchard has continued to be a fun experience. We will be moving on toward more tramping come the beginning of Feb. We have been fortunate the past few nights to view the McNaught Comet. I guess it will be with us for awhile and each night it is still spectacular, though difficult to photograph. Most of the pictures look a lot better on my camera's display. Onto the sailing! The weather was splendid. Tea and biscuits in the morning and seals aplenty throughout the day. Ate lunch, walked, and swam in Anchorage bay. Stopped at Split-Apple rock - that's Aut inside the apple. Watch out before it eats you! Cheers.

Hey kids
YUP it was cold here, like your Dad said. There was some sun on a few of the days. Just heard the news and UNH is #1 in both polls and just beat the Tigers?? 2 to 1. Still barely a ground cover and the Volvos are safe. Hugs and kisses MOM
