Happy Fathers Day

HAPPY FATHERS DAY
photo ex Roger Guthrie
Before my time but I’m sure a lot of you will remember the walkway from Arran Bay to Cowes Bay on Waiheke Island. Imagine applying for resource consent now days to build that 🙂

In the photo everyone is a Guthrie & given today is Fathers Day it seemed a perfect photo for the day.
The varnished dinghy was sporting a new Seagull outboard, thence the cover. This dinghy was like a piece of furniture & was also a sailing dinghy. The other one was just a dinghy for the kids and rough work.

As youngsters Roger & family spent many hours on the walkway catching Paketi and at low tide turning the rocks to see the crabs run.

The size above & web just do not do justice to this photo, given when it was taken the person with the camera was very talented.
