AND NOW FOR TODAYS WOODY STORY – TAURAKA

There always has to be a woody boat – todays is the launch TAURAKA. While at Lake Rotoiti for the annual classic and wooden boat parade over the weekend I spotted TAURAKA hiding in the willows looking very neglected. She has been on WW below, in fact in March 2022 (link below) we did an SOS story trying to find a new custodian – anyone know the current status. https://waitematawoodys.com/2022/03/19/tauraka-sos/
