New Zealand 8 (or ... um ... New Zealand)

Taking a little step back here...

I thought I'd post a couple images of New Zealand, just so you know where all this action is taking place.

Here's New Zealand...

There are two islands: the north island and, um, oh yes, the south island.

You can see Wellington at the bottom of the north island in this picture. That's the capital.

The Cawthron Institute and Paul Barter are both in Nelson which is at the top of the south island on the edge of Tasman Bay.

Here you can see Wellington again, and the Tasman Bay and Nelson over to the left.

We put the buoy out in the Tasman Bay in the following location:

Also on that side of the bay is Abel Tasman National Park. Just north of the buoy in fact. You can see Adele Island in the above picture, and the one below. That's basically the south end of Abel Tasman. (Which will be handy knowledge for the next post...)

You can also see Kaiteriteri at the south end of the coastline in this picture. That's where some of the pictures from the first New Zealand post were taken.
