NGAIO

Lots of woodys a float with the name Ngaio on the transom – todays one is berthed at Tutukaka and comes to us from the camera of Dean Wright.

Are we able to learn more about her?

Walked into a cafe yesterday and spotted a gent wearing a WW t-shirt – looks like he has had value for money from it 🙂

What café was it Alan?
Orbit restaurant would be a bit of a push, it may have been the City mission perhaps…..

Bit of a worry Alan seeing all those holes in a near new shirt. Might be a warranty claim coming up. Cheers.
