High Tea at Melrose House






Mya wasn't too pleased that she wasn't coming but for some reason we didn't think she would sit in a tea room for an hour:)

Casteele to the Slipway








We left the marina, motored along to the slipway and drove into the cradle. After all the arms were adjusted we were pulled ashore.

Cleaning Up



There sure is a lot of growth in a really short period of time...

Travelling Sideways


Cables pulled Casteele's cradle along the tracks to where she will be for the next few months.

Moving Stuff



Bone Carving in Nelson





Mom went to a workshop on bone carving. She made this herself!

Nelson Saturday Market, South Island, NZ




We gave Grandma a tour of the market and Cory gave himself a lesson in spinning wool.

Kiateriteri to Anchorage Bay







It was too far to hike the kids into Abel Tasman National Park so we departed Kaitereteri and went by catamaran. You'll note that someone else is doing all the work. Check out those houses on shore.

Seals and Seal Pups



Hard to catch for a photo but there were no shortage of seals playing for our amusement. The pups were 3 weeks old.

Hike at Anchorage Bay, Abel Tasman National Park








1500 Chaos





Anchorage Bay is a crazy place at 15:00!! Quite the sight after a quiet walk.
