Welcome Eric to New Zealand and Oamaru


 Well I really must apologise for the slackness - five months of no blogging our family adventures.  All good intentions turned to custard as the bussinness of family life got in the way and winter apporached.  The long cold evenings meant hibernerating.  Any way it seems hard to beleive that a whole year has passed since our USA adventure and the wonderfull hospitality of Blue Springs and the Johnston family.

The time has finally arrived and we are now busy hosting Eric.  Welcome Eric to our community and country, and our family.
 
 Eric arrived into Christchurch last Sunday and we had the joy of reuniting on Monday morning. We drove over windy roads to Akaroa for a sailing adventure.  Poor Eric - we had no idea that  you suffer from motion sicknessNeedless to say the trip was worth it - Akaroa was glorious and the sailing magical.  Our last experiences of sailing were of going backwards completely our of control heading out to sea at Waiheke Island.

 I will try to upload some more photos of the sailing later as I have had problems with the pictures.  The last four days have been action packed with Richard taking Eric to all parts of our District and further afield.  Below is a photo after they had had a flight over North Otago.

Sailing Bumble - hard work!
