Also Jan 2014!
We could have entered the event, but having just made good nearly all the
damage inflicted by the Pacific Ocean over the last 9000miles, we felt “sailed
out”, and disinclined to risk any more work!
So we invited “Bear” and Pepe
Millard, from” Beez Neez”, to join us in taking “Mrs Paki”, (our Toyota Ipsum) for a ferry ride over to Russell, from where
we could watch the spectacle from the comfort of the shore.
Or, perhaps more accurately, from the
first floor balcony of the Swordfish club, while we ate a leisurely lunch of fish
and chips, and kept the thirst at bay.
