Dino? Dino? Come in Dino…

    Pleasant memories of longlining in the outer Bay of Plenty for tuna in the 80’s…a windless dawn and a flat sea. White Island erupting silently 5 miles distant with great billows of ash boiling up and descending like rainsqualls into the ocean leeward of the rock.

Even the Cape Pigeons and Mother Cary’s chickens stopped their cackling to watch…
