The Gull<br />
ABOVE: Some less discerning folk choose not to use a Seagull<br />
powered dinghy to access Cowan Creek. The seaplane swooped in<br />
like some outsized seabird, drowning even the noise of the Seagulls,<br />
and plopped itself down right in front of the fleet<br />
ABOVE: Clear blue waters, sandstone and eucalypt shoreline - where<br />
else could you be but Australia - the flag is simply overkill. Luke, Tim<br />
and Marco Sniekers in the 14ft Fairlite Gull seen in detail in ‘Your<br />
Boats’ in Issue#1<br />
ABOVE: Skipper Jim Geddes in his uniquely Australian ‘BBQ Chef’s hat’, acting as cook on what he calls Te Arawa’s ‘Lido Deck’ with, L to R: Peter<br />
Arnold, NIck Aiken, Marco Sniekers and (Foreground): Kate Tribe (back to camera) and the editor. We rafted up with the Halvorsen to<br />
starboard, the runabout to port and the dinghys off the stern. Great venue for a picnic, many thanks to Jim for bringing the mothership along!<br />
Te Arawa (The Shark) is named for an ancient - and very lucky - Maori double-hulled voyaging canoe, one of the first to reach and colonise<br />
New Zealand’s North Island. How it came by the name is worth a story all on its own!<br />
