Bryan on the 'puter, loading this picture, in our new home!

This is our new home, on our own section! (Rented!) Two bed, bbq deck, double carport, stream, wineries over the back, beach across the road, sheep for neighbours!

Driving down to Hawkes Bay, after being marooned in Taupo, due to "the" road being closed!

Taranaki, New Plymouth, where The Last Samurai was filmed.

There be Sharks in them there waters! Taste good though!

Gurnard for tea!

Sue catches her first fish! Not enough for a meal, or even bait, not even the Seagulls were interested, but at least the next one Will be bigger! (It was over a foot long by the time we left the beach!)

Derek "floating his boat!"

Kontiki has up to 25 hooks, and goes up to 1km out to sea! Cheaper than a boat, but you can't waterski off the back of it!

Sail is controlled by a high tech', sacrificial soluble solid, Barley Sugars or lollies seem to work ok!

Lovely sunset, time for a beer, after a hard days fishing!

6 Snapper, and a Kawai for tea! Caught with a Kontiki!

Three little campers, sitting in a row,

two have got motors, ours we have to tow!

Lunch on the beach with friends! Early June, like your December!

Off to the beach at Torere, nr Opotiki, Bay of plenty, for a long weekend of freedom camping, fishing etc.

Us at Cathedral Cove! May2006
