I’d agree with her there. As would the skipper of Fox II, Roy Borrelli. A New Yorker of Italian heritage, he left the smoke and trauma of the Twin Towers attack, for somewhere, “much quieter, much more peaceful. I’d even settle for boring in fact.”
He achieved the first two in Akaroa, on the Banks Peninsula. But boring – never. For he and are about the busiest boat-and-bloke combination in the bay, constantly taking visitors out on tours to experience Akaroa’s splendid bay, its two marine reserves, and to see the friendly Hector’s dolphins. This last element guaranteed.
