Weather Bomb Hits Whangateau Boat Yard
Early Saturday morning, a weather bomb hit the Whangateau boat yard & the 1926 classic launch Nereides, moored there for some seasonal maintenance, has been damaged. I’ll let the words & photos on the yards facebook page, link below, tell the story.
Update- seems the internet fairies are playing games & the ability to view the facebook link is missing, so sorry folks – no link.
Nereides owner, Mark, is a good bloke & doesn’t deserve this (again) but Nereides is probably in the best spot possible for the repairs, the work that Pam & George are doing at the yard on a collection of our classic’s is 2nd to none.
Mark – if you need a hand, just ask 🙂
