The Colonel and I were on a recent voyage to the incredible South Island of Aotearoa and ventured out for a jolly jaunt into the harbour at Akaroa within that magnificent vista of the remains of a volcano that has become the Banks Peninsula southeast of Christchurch.
We were captained most admirably and professionally by Mr. Roy Borelli, a salty sailor from New York, and his courageous crew. The passengers on the day, including our good selves and Madame Phillipa, were astonished by the smoothness of the sail of this Gaffed Rigged Ketch they ply the waters with here known as the Fox II. We were further enlightened and amazed by the abundance of wildlife we were shown and the local cultural and natural history knowledge imparted by the Captain.
Here for your delight and delectation is a small snippet of our voyage as recorded by Mr. Borelli through his 'Animated Pictorial Recording and Imprinting Machine'. Astounding Photoplay, what??!!
