These are the people of this
wonderful island.
There are several pictures of other cruisers here as when you arrive at Palmserston you
become a member of their extended family. And very proud we are to be a part of it.
All of us were still talking about Palmerston when we got to New Zeland and were
asked about out trip.
Of course there was food. There are pictures of a spread that was put on by Bill T.
Masters for those who were being hoseted by those members of his side of the the Masters
family. I hope that Jerey will expalain the polotics that runs around the island.
It is facinating and simple. It goes back to the start of their whole
society. The original Bill Masters three wives each took a portion ot the island to
start there own families. Even though they were all named Masters.
