Really annoyed that I missed this…

 

….but unfortunately business called ……

…looks like they were having fun… 

and this is all I got…

….out of a situation that this was taken much earlier in the day.

Am thinking climbing that rigging must be a highlight of a voyage on this beauty.

 

Hacked off that I missed a “photo opportunity” of a lifetime….but there was more…

I’m talking about the boat “Lord Nelson” in Port Nelson, Nelson and then the fact that around about the same time……our Royal NZ airforce decide to fly a Hercules above on practice approach to Nelson airport.

I’d prefer to call it “timing.”

But because of a phone call I missed that crucial “all in the photo at once” opp!

The Lord Nelson has some fantastic ideals for young folk.

Nelson being one of the first NZ Companies settlements in this part of the Antipodes actually owes its name to him said above.
