Merry Christmas Waitemata Woodys

I hope Santa found you and delivered up what ever it was that you wished / hoped to get, whether it was something material (think boat stuff) or just a call / visit from someone special.

I’ll keep this short so you can make that Xmas lunch / dinner. Waitematawoodys is all about you, the readers and the team that post comments and send me their photos and stories.  Its you that make it happen.
My view is that ww is just the window into the passion we all share and I’d like to think ww has helped propagate that passion.

I have a request – if you have not posted a comment on ww or sent in any material, please do in 2015. I’m here to empower you to tell stories about our passion thru photographs, words and videos. Stories about the diverse people, history, events and activities that make up the wooden boating community.

Enjoy the holidays and safe boating

Alan Houghton

ps as much as technology afloat will allow, I’ll keep the ww posts running so make sure you check in daily & remember if you see a good looking woody out there – take a photo & email it to me 🙂

  2. ALAN;
    The world classic boating community, is undoubtedly deeply indebted to you, in my view, with what you have founded & created, in to what has already become, a worldwide & world class, massive & widely read forum for us all, still in under 2 years, I think it is, as I recall.
    The viewing figures speak for themselves in this respect, & those of us who have been privileged to add our little bits & pieces, I know, have hugely enthusiastic joy, in doing what we can, to help support you, & all your many unpaid hours of endless work you dedicate yourself to, for our mutual benefit —
    THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ON BEHALF OF EACH & EVERY ONE OF US FROM EVERY COUNTRY WHERE WOODYS IS READ, WHO ENJOY READING & SHARING, & I KNOW WE ALL, WHEREVER WE MAY BE, WISH YOU, & YOUR FAMILY, A VERY, VERY, HAPPY CHRISTMAS, & THE BEST BOATING NEW YEAR EVER, IN 2015 FOR YOURSELF– GOD BLESS — KEN RICKETTS

  3. Alan,
    You should be very proud of your achievements with this blog over the past year.
    Day by day it improves and broadens the scope of our knowledge of our recreational maritime history.
    Many hands are painting a full and fascinating picture.
    Merry Christmas to you, Robyn and your kids.

  4. Hi Alan,
    Thank for a great year of woody posts. I enjoy them very much but most of all they provide daily interest, printed out, for my `old salt’ father in law Don Ross.
    Thanks a million for providing to forum to keep up his interest in boats and the sea.
    We wish you and all your woodies followers a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
