520			_a"A place ruled by time and tide, the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds are the setting for this 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 homemade boat to deliver mail and provisions to the isolated families of the Sounds. That young man was Eric Johnson, who, together with his remarkable family, served the people of the Sounds for more than 50 years. Time and Tide tells this story, and features some of the history of this intriguing area: early settlements, 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"--Back cover.
