Kerikeri Cruising Club Trolly

Roger working the controls as Ardmachree slowly comes up onto the ramp.

A very encrusted propeller and rudder. 

The Club has been developing a haul out facility. It was time for Ardmachree to give it a try, today and tomorrow would work.....we hoped, with very high tides around noon. Here we are successfully hauled out with Ardmachree having a 2 m. draft. We were able to power wash the hull and spot paint areas that were in need of bottom paint.

Park Over at Larry and Anne's

Larry and Anne after acquiring this lovely little cottage have spent a lot of hours refinishing and dealing the the resource consent governing body to have the cottage down by the lake.  The four couples spent a lovely evening camping out in their Rv's while Bill and I were given the cottage for the night.
