    Some people have no sense of adventure

    When you go for a ride,, do you get coments from friends and family, like, you are too old for bikes, carry ID. the coppers may have to scrape you off the road. etc.. happens all the time.
    After living in Australia for the last 4 years, Iam returning to NZ.
    Sold my house. over there, so going to live on a boat
    A large comfortable one..
    Well Iam copping it again,, its strange how people become a person of wisdom and advice.
    Even older ladys are telling me how to sail a a boat
    Of course they don't know shit from chewed dates
    Just everyone just opens there mouth ,, and gives absolute nonsence advice
    The more they do it, the more determine I become
    Coments anyone..

    BTW.. Does anyone live in Napier. and know a little about boats,, need one checked out.

    Cheers... Kev
    And that is the honest truth your honour..

    Since you left they have initiated a spelling test on arrival to weed out the non English speakers.

    Boat,

    Nonsense, uninformed or just outright wrong advice!?!? You've come to the right place!

    You will not meet people like this when you are out there doing something a bit different because they will be at home on the couch getting further brainwashed by the tele or in front of kiwibiker (like me ) so don't sweat it and enjoy the ride/sail/swim?.

    Kev, I have befriended a few "man in the boats" in my day but have never had the desire to actually become one ... good luck with that!

    My nana used to tell me with a note of sarcasm and a smile to be careful as she doesn't have spare money for flowers (funeral), at least said creatively.

    For a nominal fee I could follow your Ark on kayak or observe it from bluff hill and activate PLB/call emergency services as needed. I reserve all rights to filming of the sinking though.
    As someone else said pay someone proper to survey it.

    Kev, not trying to put you off at all. Unstucks post reminded me of this clip. God knows why, but it did.

    There's something sad about watching a boat going under.
