Well, the wind blew, and the spray went everywhere but it was a great sight, seeing the Tugs come roaring down the harbour and then the Launches with their display.

There weren’t the numbers we’ve seen in the past, but it was still a good show.

The tugs were led by Sterling which has won many classic boat races. Te Hauraki was in the hunt too until it retired by the container terminal.

Jason Prew led the Launches in My Girl and several others followed on behind, kicking up the spay as they went.

The pictures below tell the story.

Just to compare it to a previous year..

Great entertainment just a short walk from our front door in Devonport 🙂
