1992 New Zealand Trip
- Kyle Chittick

In 1992, I was in my 3rd year of commercial fishing and our boat took a trip down to New Zealand with a skeleton American crew. Myself, my girlfriend at the time and two friends were chosen to accompany the vessel. We flew down and met the boat in Lyttelton, NZ and fished from there down towards the Antarctic Circle. After our fishing venture was up, we took a trip down to Queenstown via a rented van. After that portion of the trip, we flew to Auckland and stayed for a couple days -- then on to Fiji for a week (photos later), and back home to Seattle via Honolulu and Los Angeles. These photos are from the New Zealand portion of that journey.
