It’s A Tough Job But Someone Has To Do It
All week we were scanning all the weather apps looking for that ‘magic’ day to schedule a fashion photo shoot afloat. The 1947 Colin Wild built motor launch – Lady Crossley was on stand-by, all buffed up from her recent round of TLC in Opua in the far north. The model was flying in from the UK so come Tuesday the call was made for Friday, and what a call – best day of the year – blue sky, flat seas, norther boats in the bay and the prefect light for photography.
Come 6am skipper Jamie Hudson and myself were drying LC off and at 7am we were heading to West Bay at Rakino Island.
I’ll let the photos tell the story but Lady Crossley was the perfect catwalk for the shoot.

Further to Cameron’s comments, get the side cutters and get clipping fast! Plenty of fine old ships have suffered nasty pox down aft from this.
