It has been quite sometime since we have put a post up as we have been really busy over the past 6 months… yeah I know sounds a bit pathetic and I have to agree to be honest. Update on my fishing drone… sadly after repeated visits to the Drone Doctors she finally passed away while in the Drone Hospital. The good news is the Drone Baby Stalk is delivering a brand new one at no cost. However its been a hectic and brutal 30 months with the “Covidie thingy” and it has been hard watching as friends and family have been divided by thisRead More →

Long story but here goes. While up north did a first fishing attempt with the drone and it went well until it crashed into the ocean on the second flight.. the fault was with me for not handling the situation appropriately… no matter how I tried to blame something or someone else. On testing the drone it came up with an error, so rather than risk flying it I sent it to drone hospital to let the expert drone doctors check and or repair it. Took about 6 weeks to get her back with the tick of approval from the repair service. Today the timeRead More →

Its been a lovely stay in Gisborne with Ian and Tui after my Parliament Grounds Freedom Village experience, both of us catching “Alphadeltacrom”, recovering and exploring the lower east side of the Wellington coastline such as Cape Palliser, Lake Wairarapa and Masterton. Jude and I have had a lovely time staying with these great mates. Of course because we are jab-free they do tend to call us their leper friends… but amongst friends who cares. These guys are amazing and we really enjoy the banter, beers and the friendship. Now the weather is another story and boy when it rains up here it rains. JudeRead More →

With the visit to Te Anau completed for our short Central Otago and Southland circuit, its time to head to Invercargill via Tuatapere and the South Coast… of course its going to be a slow trip as we have been doing all the way around our trip stopping to watch our kiwis in their olympic events and today was not different…. a wee bit taxing on our RBI data but well worth it. The first stop was on the side of the road in Tuatapere township yelling and cheering in our moho… crikey I hope no ones watching us, and then we went to theRead More →

We arrived at Pinders Pond just out of Roxburgh yesterday, it was a stunning afternoon and got about charging bike batteries etc for our ride along the Roxburgh Gorge Trail from the Roxburgh Dam to Shingle Creek. After a good afternoon with plenty of sun the BBQ was out and ready to cook some awesome steaks for dinner and a nice wine. Waking from a good sleep to an overcast but not cold morning, the pond was like glass and so the feature image is of Pinders Pond. The only thing to do was clean up the breakfast dishes and through the door mat inRead More →
