Ngunguru, Northland, New Zealand
Sailors, adventurers, travellers. We lived on and cruised our yacht "Spindrift11" for 15 years but now live amongst the birds on this beautiful bush and wetland plot near Ngunguru. Hilton has built "Spindrift", this charming ocean going 10 metre ply passage-maker at home. Follow the Blog at http://thenewspindrift.blogspot.co.nz
