Summer Sea

[Ross J]

We've just celebrated Waitangi Weekend here, and our extended family went to the Coromandel Penninsular and stayed at a friends motor camp. <br />What a ball we had, there was snapper, scollops, mussells, oysters and crayfish taken for food and we lived like kings.<br />As a bonus it was the first time my grandaughter had been in a boat , likewise my mother-in-law hadn't been afloat in 40+ years so they both came out in my boat for a run up the coast. Two converts to boating/fishing!<br />While we were there three different sets of friends turned up and we all got togeather and had our own food festival. It was the best holiday break yet.<br />Swimming in 21C water, diving, boating, walking, sitting for hours, good kids, good company, great food, what more could I ask for eh?<br />I'm showing off, I know but it was a blast!<br />Ross

Re: Summer Sea

Yes thought that also. A lot of folk here have aluminium boats and they just let them slam into the sandy shore with impunity. I guess it works for them but my vessell is glass over ply and thats a definate no-no. It was anchored further out throughout the stay, retrieved with a kayak each time. I must add that these photos were taken on the last day and the weather had just deteriorated from calm and sunny to overcast and windy. Still no excuse for mis-treatment of a boat. I wonder if some of them even checked their water intakes or speedo's before take off!<br />Ross
