NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURES

Oh chute, I think we're in trouble.  Hanging on the chute for the first time.      Home

Come back to this page in the future if you want to hear about Exit Only getting caught in a Squash Zone three hundred miles north of New Zealand.  We had to lay to our parachute sea anchor for about nineteen hours while the storm was blowing.  We took a licking but Exit Only kept on ticking.  For now, the storm story is tucked away in the recesses of my mind.  I will upload the parachute sea anchor story after the Exit Only is no longer in the boatyard at Monty's Marina.  Until then, you can check out these pictures of our New Zealand Adventures.

Our Defender 110 Land Rover made it up the track to the top of Mount Tarawera, which is an extinct volcano.  On the way down from the mountain, we met a Land Rover that was out of luck.  His rear wheels had dropped into a rut and he was sideways and high-sided, blocking the track up and down the mountain.  We rendered assistance.  The track was shut down for a couple of hours until the vehicle recovery was complete.
