FROM NEW ZEALAND TO SUNSET

This is a view of New Zealand from the International Space Station - (ISS).  I never tire of viewing film of Planet Earth shot from outer space. Earth always looks both beautiful and fragile. Lets all look after it Shipmates (take your weekend sailing rubbish home with you in a plastic bag, DON ' T dump it overboard!

To the left of Banks Peninsula, far out to sea (extreme bottom left) under some scattered cloud you can make out the Chatham Islands. In this fair land my friends ..........."We live and move and have our being".
