Gay Dawn & Safari on the Tamaki River circa 1964/66. The two owners are having a chat during the winter overhaul on the “hard” (softish muddy little beach actually) which was actually between their houses. Safari is currently undergoing a ‘renovation’ by a CYA member.

Some additional info supplied by Ken Ricketts  – ” The 2 owners referred to were, my late father Ralph Ricketts on Gay Dawn & the late Karl Kasper on Safari on the little beach alongside & between their 2 houses — taken by me, from my parents property, & Kaspers property you can see right above & behind Safari, — great place for 2 boaties to live eh!! — Karl of course was part of the Kasper family that owned the “Pearl Kasper” the scow which he ran for many years”
