Turns out our last voyage wasn't our last and Sam, Ben and Frenchie had to take decrepit Tui in the Hand over to Pier 21 in Westhaven for the insurance assessment and valuation.
We tried out our newly serviced outboard on the stern of William Shatner's Pants and it turned out to run cruise like a dream. It's very nice to know that we only rowed back and forth for two unnecessary years. Ben performed an doughnut and then the engine stalled 10m away from the boat.
Ben and Frenchie hauled the outboard onto Tui in the Hand and we set off around 10:00. We headed across the harbour to the container loading area and then up towards the bridge. At just after 12:00 we arrived at Pier 21 and tied up. The insurance guy turned up around 15:30 and we killed some time by downing some Mexicali onboard. It took 2 minutes to declare the boat a write-off and we left her tied up near Swashbucklers. We waved goodbye and headed up for a pint or two after a hard days work in the sun.
