We recently had some time on our awa with our new friend Ken. He came from the USA to study the law in making our awa a legal enity. Here is just a small response from him on the river trip along with a few photos.

I am back home in the US and just wanted to thank you for sharing your love and connection to the awa with me on our trip down the Whanganui. It was a fantastic experience.

Take care,
