THE BARGE

Some light relief today – a woody, probably best to just say ‘a visitor from Hawkes Bay’ sent in this photo with the tag ” came in Opito (B.O.I.) this morning :)” The name on the bow – The Barge, says it all. It truely is a floating apartment. Dont imagine it travels far.

Any Northland woodys able to enlighten us on the vessel.

I am sure his rates are very reasonable compared to others with BOI baches and the gardens look well tended, WW is after all often promoting the floating Bach lifestyle.
