This is almost the end of my vacation photos. These ones were taken on a day that Mum and Dad and I drove up to Pakiri.

The reason we stopped was because we spotted a boatshed from the road and what seemed to be an interesting craft.
It turned out to be the Whangateau Boatyard…
and the boat we saw was a beautiful old gaff rigged Mullet Class -
There were a few other interesting boats about in the estuary. Given my bias towards multihulls, I couldn’t help taking a photo of this one -
