We popped out briefly and on the drive down Bluff Hill we saw a helicopter over the water by Ahuriri so we drove over and had a look. The coastguard were having a practice with the helicopter plucking people from the water and depositing them back at the sailing club.

What wonderful photography. Have enjoyed your travels so much. Thank you for the pleasure.
Where are you at present? We thought we were ” on the move” – but you have covered so much ground.
Love Christine.
