sad to see Glynbird in such a state – I owned her for quite a few years & when I had “Deep Pro Divers Ltd” I restored her back into survey & used her extensively for taking oilfield diver students to Grt Barrier Isl for training – as well as quite a few jobs for Ports Of Auckland – I took her to Picton from Auckland & we recovered a safe from the wreck of the Mikhail Lermintov for C.TC Travel – she was very dear to my heart that old girl & never ever let me down,I now wish I had never sold her – Geoff Mather
