Big dump of snow on Mt Wellington last night, down to 400m. Clear blue
skies, crisp and cool today. Been playing on one of our ships prior to
her heading back into the Southern Ocean.

Bloody bewdyfull !

Yep. Where else on the planet can you have most of the climate zones in
one clean, peaceful country with elbow room to move? Darwin to Hobart,
take your pick.

For all the people in the northern hemisphere - summer (for you)
solstice is over. Your days are getting shorter and soon they'll get
colder. Enjoy.

Grrrrr. We've had 100 knot winds.

Cheers

Is tht a problem? It should enable one to ski on level ground... or
even up small hills...

DSK

I think you need to do both in the same day.

Shhhh. That's a secret project. Well it was anyway until the Minister
wanted a photo op.

Been a long time since I had my hands on a BMG.

Oh yeah, good location!
Will you be visiting?

Not at my current rate. The oilwells march across the landscape,
their path lined by reams of paper, landsat frames and fights
with earthmovers. meanwhile the roiling gas clouds beckon, by
then it's September & we're supposed to be on water,,,I'm not
even getting out under sail this winter...

We'll see...
