go back out into that blue yonder.
Good will definitely happen out of this…..
The “boat” will be
….ready again….
..to tackle those toothfish downunder…
..…BUT sustainably wise!
..because here in Nelson, New Zealand…
courtesy of a local millionaire…we have the
largest historic motorcycle display in New Zealand.
Actually, and not exactly in-consequential ….not just NZ… as of March 2015…..… it happens to be the largest dedicated so called motorbike display in the planets Southern Hemisphere!

Potato quality photo’d I agree…but I was working…and that’s all the car webcam caught whilst driving past…..
Surely enough I don’t have to show you the “No Vacancy” signs that most Nelson motels had!
…according to her website thats what she is.
Though my photo does it no justice, its pretty big.
SUNDAY UPDATE
tried to get an extra photo via Googles special panorama camera app,
but didn’t work? ….. chopped the top of the mast ….
…looks like the mast is still too tall?
Did read yesterday you can charter her for USD$268,000 per week!
…well if you’ve been reading my blog here for a while, and you’re into hops…..
you guessed right, its NELSON. Craft Brew capital of New Zealand we say.
…..does anyone in NZ remember Paul?
Seems some NZ City Councils, even small ones like in Nelson ….
spent like a NZD$1m to get “the name out there” BUT I ask could there be a better way (taking Paul into account)
Here above is my OPEN LETTER to KIWIs everywhere…

So if not a Kea how about a marine version….kinda like Paul….NZ actually has a few of these and thats exactly why I included a photo of NZs pre-eminent marine research authority located in…where else…NELSON.
Surely they can come up with something. Or NIWA s local Nelson office might beat the Wellington Head Office if they get their heads together tomorrow!
…still time to get them out the Steam Museum
out at Pigeon Valley…
…near Wakefield…
…for their Country Family Fair today March 1st.
