Is that why you’re such a seafood champion?
Our family farm was out of Masterton, an hour and a bit away from Castlepoint. Have you been there?
I lost the exhaust pipe on my Triumph Spitfire there the very first weekend I had it – about a hundred years ago.
Well, Castlepoint hasn’t changed. There are still beautiful baches along the waterfront, and the campground’s still there. We had an old caravan and a tinny, and we’d go for two weeks a year. Everything revolved around low tide. We’d go over to Mataikona and the fathers would swim out to get crayfish.
