December 25, 2012, At Sea, Christmas Day




Merry Christmas everyone!  We are at sea all day heading toward Wellington on the north island.  Yesterday we were very close to the town of Christ Church.  You will remember that this town was mostly destroyed by a severe earthquake last year.  The town is in the process of rebuilding roads and bridges so none of the tours included Christ Church.  We went back and forth over the fault line and saw some evidence of damage to homes and churches.  One interesting thing that we saw was the very straight road we were on turned into a severe “S” curve as it crossed the fault line.
