Paul Prince, climber extraordinary and president of the Otago section of the New Zealand Alpine Club, is up for most things. Modelling a traditional red check Swanndri and Muckboots with Carolyn and Sharon on a little island in the middle of Otago harbour is not the most extreme. This is where Sharon steered the tub to. Well - "steered"was rather more the intention than the reality.

Thanks to David and Liana of Swanndri NZ Ltd in Christchurch for the gear. We see Swanndri and Kiwitub as having a lot in common - fully New Zealand, tough, practical, and having a certain Kiwi style. Check out their gear on their website at www.swanndri.co.nz
