Matua – one of those boats that looks fast even at anchor. Recently on trademe so maybe she has a new owner. Help with any details on her would be great.

Finding a good value seafood establishment on Auckland’s Waitemata waterfront is hard to do, we hit Billfish at Westhaven yesterday. Food excellent, setting = entertaining with the comings & goings on the charter boats below you , good value, service a little slack but thats ok as we were in no hurray. Worth a visit. No smile as I was not expecting the photo 🙂
