CLASSIC WOODYS AT ANCHOR – HAURAKI GULF OUTER ISLANDS
Todays photos come to us from Kent Forsyth, via his brother Tobias.
Tobias told us that Kent found the old photos of boats at the market on Waiheke Island.In Tobias’s eyes the cove looks like Arid Island (Little Barrier) and the raft up is in Smokehouse Bay, Great Barrier Island. Do we agree?
Can we ID the launch at anchor in the cove. I think I’ve let my QC guard down with the Smokehouse Bay photo – there could be a vindex/s hiding in that raft up 🙂
UPDATE – as ID’ed by several WW followers, the launch is the 45’ John Gladden built (1972) Bridgedecker. Featured on WW back in April 2017 https://waitematawoodys.com/2017/04/17/45-pilot-house-bridge-decker/
