My next adventure had been planned as I headed back to Nelson on the bikes and so I had a prearranged Pelorus Mail Boat ride to embark on, out of Havelock at 10:00 am next morning! The skipper was to collect me from the Havelock airstrip that I had arranged to land on nearby. Timing was critical to getting aboard this vessel as planned. It all began with my early morning walk through a very quiet Nelson township from the Inn to the far end of town to the bus stop.
