New Zealand on 100 Snails a Day

Posted by on 08/12 at 09:38 AM
Tim Anderson has posted another canoe sailing adventure - this time from New Zealand. As usual, he nearly dies a few times (infection and hypothermia), lives on snails and oatmeal, experiences altered states of consciousness, camps where he shouldn't, meets interesting locals, and returns home with stomach parasites. Hard not to envy him. This time he sails Gary Dierking's Ulua, which is practically a yacht compared to his previous transport. Lots of good photos - especially if you like outrigger canoes, and who doesn't? Outrigger Canoe Sailing in New Zealand.

  • Hi,
    What memories have you got for La Maison Tournante? My favourite is holding my wedding reception there in April 1978. My wife’s family lived there - next door to another more recent version where Julien, the son of François Massau, the inventor lived before commiting suicide, as did his two other brothers.A really tragic family history.
    Tell me what memories you have.
