BELOW – ON A GOOD DAY

DO NOT STOP LOVING YOUR CLASSIC WOODY

A wise old wooden boat builder told me once varnish on boats is like a house with a swimming pool – looks great, helps sell it but you soon get tied of the upkeep.

Well things have changed / improved with the development of some of ’new’ wonder products on the market but they still regular TLC, even if it’s just putting the covers on.

Today we see what 12 mths of neglect can do – sad, very sad. But dockside chat says that a tin of white paint could be on the horizon , so maybe its a work-in-progress.

AND WOODYS – REMEMBER TO GET DOWN TO THE WATERFRONT TO CHECK OUT TODAYS ANNIVERSARY DAY MOTORBOAT INNER HARBOUR RACE – 11 am – RACE START IN FRONT OF RNZYS CLUBROOMS – Course is down to Orakei Buoy and back to finish off RNZYS – so good viewing from most city-side waterfront locations. I’ll be there onboard the rocket ship seen in the photo below, hopefully defending the title – first across the line 🙂
