If anyone can point me in any direction, to help me, thanks.

Discovered my American whaler ancestor had children with a Maori woman. He was based at Kapiti.1835-1842. Her name was Nani, their son Tamati. There was a daughter too. Their descendants will carry the blue eye gene. I don't know what happened to them. I would like to find descendants of this whanau and share stories.
Perhaps #Waikato, Kawhia.

Not sure where to start, so if anyone can point me in a direction, to help me, thanks.

Hey #kapiti line people. Looks like the trains are all cancelled to Wellington. ALL OF THEM. This seems to be all week. Can anyone explain wtf is going on? Nothing on the news websites #trains #metlink #wellington

There’ll be hundreds if not thousands of #aurora photos posted from this event. Here’s mine. I never expected I would see an aurora on the #Kāpiti Coast, #NZ because of all the lights to south, including Wellington. This is from rural Te Horo. There looked to be a bit of brightening to the SSE. Held my iPhone 14 Pro Max on top of a fence post, for a 3 second exposure, and there was the aurora colour. This is cropped and lightly edited. 🙂

When I was growing up, NZ didn't have tornados. Now within three days they've popped up in Auckland, Nelson and Kapiti.

This is what learning to "live with" the climate crisis feels like.

Last weekend was Erin’s birthday! She celebrated and I “celebrated” with a three hour hike on the Escarpment Trail, along the Kapiti Coast (that’s her crossing the impressive suspension bridge).

Stunning views tbf. And it did make the cake and champagne taste better.

Last chance for those on the Kāpiti Coast, Countdown is selling Krombacher, an imported German beer, for $2.50/660mL. Now that’s a bargain for #ThirstyThursday

After my last two action packed BMX racing videos, now time for something completely different.

Sit back and relax for two and a half minutes watching the Kapiti coastline drift, with the gentle music washing over you.

If you can, this is best viewed at 4k.

New Zealand is so magical looking. Did a hike on the escarpment trail in Kāpiti over the weekend. Here's of the nice pictures I took.

Still a bit on the overcast side. But it is early. #Kāpiti

Does anyone know where you can buy #HydrogenPeroxide in #Wellington? I’ve got some really smelly #shells from #Kapiti that need cleaning, and I will NOT use bleach on them (not unless I want to completely ruin them!).
