MOTUEKA MARINA – TIDE IN
Almost always when John Burland sends in photos from the Motueka marina the tide is out, not in todays photos from earlier in the month.
So woodys today we get to see the woodys afloat and its certainly a better look 🙂 Enjoy.
The ‘ditty’ was sent in by Dave Stanaway – Dave commented – ‘Below is a ditty I learned as a 12 year old. An old retired seaman thought good for me to learn as I spent all my school holidays on towboats. Funny thing was when studying for second mate I was told to forget such a ditty.’

Lovely image of the Charlie Filmer built YASAWA, still looking as she did when he built her (except for the loss of her beautiful varnish) Am so glad she was not destroyed by the fire she endured, way back in her early days. — KEN R
