The breathtaking Marlborough Sounds are the setting for this unique story of the Pelorus Mail Boat, one of the world's last such mail services. One hundred years ago, a 17-year-old set out from Havelock on a two-day journey in his home-made boat to deliver mail and provisions to families in the Sounds. That man was Eric Johnston, who together with his remarkable family, served the people of the Sounds for more than fifty years. What follows features some of the history of this intriguing area - early settlement, gold, fascinating characters, pig hunting tales and the men and women who have continued the story of the Pelorus Mail Boat to the present day.
