Blenheim is situated
in the Marlborough region of New Zealand on the north east corner
of the South Island, due west of Wellington city. For centuries
it has offered safe harbour to travellers sailing to the spectacular
South Island: first the Maori traders and war parties; then
explorers like Captain James Cook and Dumont d’Urville;
and now, to visitors seeking a retreat from city pressures,
as they discover the unspoilt haven and foodie heaven that is
Marlborough today. Blenheim's attractions include its wine industry,
the Marlborough Sounds, gourmet foods and adventure activities.

ZEALAND SURF REPORTS
Apart
from tsunamis, the only thing that produces waves
is the wind blowing over the sea surface. Waves
arriving on a coast called windsea can be generated
by local wind. Groundswell can be the result of
a wind that blew over the surface of the ocean
thousands of kilometres away
