Helen doesn't have as much class as that octopus!

Ah, sorry about that. Easy mistake to make though - neither of them appear to have a spine.

It's about a two and a half hour trip on a Convair to get there - I'm talking REMOTE.

That's okay - some days, finding a place like that and telling the rest of the world to piss off sounds pretty good. At least the seafood is good, I bet ;)

,,, the seafood is outstanding. What we can get, that is. Lobster is caught, trans-shipped chilled by air to Christchurch and can be on lunch or dinner tables in Sydney, [Australia] restaurants the same day if flights coincide. A lot of product goes north to Singapore and Japan too. Big money.
