Dramatic race home from around world for Ōhope family

From Checkpoint, 6:25 pm on 17 April 2020

Living in the Jenkins household at Ōhope beach is like living in the land of the giants.

Those are the words of Mark Jenkins whose three sons - all rowing champions - had to rush home from their universities in the US when Covid-19 panic hit.

And the travel dramas didn't stop there - parents Mark and Mia were mid-flight as the global crisis unfolded.

Now they are all home they have settled into a routine that involves a lot of eating, study and exercise.
