Classic Wooden Boats On The Lake

Today woodys we get an amzaing birds’-eye view of the recent x.The above 5min video both showcases the stunning scenery of the Queenstown,South Island area and the fleet of woodys that assembled for the inaugural Southern Lakes Classic & Historic Boating event.

Grab a coffee/tea and sit back and take it all in. Sadly the reproduction of the video is limited by file size (2GB+) – I just wish you could see it in HD. Click on this icon (shown below) in the bottom right hand corner of the screen to view in full screen 😉

(special thanks to Peter Williams for sharing the footage with us)

It was an amazing day! Warwick and I had the privilege of driving an Albatross (U-Drive no 5 – Dickie) for the weekend thanks to the generosity of Tony Green. Greg Doran did a wonderful job of organising the weekends programme. Lovely to be able attend their 1st event, long may they continue!
