How it all started for me in 1968

This photo was taken soon after I landed in Sydney in 1966. On that Qantas flight the passengers were mostly Colombo Plan students.

I climbed the Sydney bridge with a friend in 1968. We saw many things from up there.There was the Opera House nearing completion, a hydrofoil coming from Manly to Circular Quays...

Nanook's action photos

Because I am a single hander, sailing mostly alone, it was difficult for me to take photos of myself on my boat. Here are a few rare photos:

Usually when there is not enough wind for sailing, I played my flute.

There is just enough room for three people on a Noelex 22.

This photo was taken by Alex Chow at Lake Tarawera.

At 10 knots wind, the Noelex performs very well. I call this washing the windows. Mabel Chiew thought that I was using soap!

This was taken at Hamilton, lake Rotoroa.

I like this photo so much that I am using this as my profile photo on Facebook and on my blogs. This one photo captured the essence of three of my favourite hobbies: flute, sailing and photography.
