Well today is officially a rest day for the majority of the Air Safari contingent. A bit of a sleep in for most, a relax for some and a Tui Brewery tour for others. Meanwhile the Catalina Crew rose early once again and set off for Wellington for the Aero Club's 80th Anniversary celebration. What a fantastic day. The weather in Wellington was of course windy when we arrived and windy when we left but surprisingly it was actually sinking hot and no wind for the majority of the day! There was an extremely good turnout in Wellington with five full flights made in the Cat and many more keen to have a ride, however our 6pm dinner in Masterton hosted at the Copthorne Hotel had us required to get our skates on and head back before we missed dinner and Dr Dave Baldwin's speech.
An extremely enjoyable day. Unfortunately I didn't charge the camera batteries (it seems someone has borrowed my charger and it hasn't found it's way back yet!) so the only photos I have today are of the Trojan aircraft on display during our transit from Masterton to Wellington this morning.
Tomorrow is the start of our South Island adventure. The safari teams are off to Motueka for lunch (yeah go Motueka!!). Unfortunately the Cat is not because the airfield is too small so we are heading direct to Blenheim where we will land at Woodbourne Airport. The rest of the safari contingent will then transit from Motueka to Omaka for dinner. Should be another good day.
