Just in case Ivan Sheales, the Master of "Holmburn", doesn't get round to it, the story of the big-time fisherman is worth telling. The gangway was just about to be pulled away when this character rushes up the Onehunga Wharf, complete with fishing bag and rod. "You guys are pulling out a bit quick, aren't you?", he exclaimed. "No, we should have left half-an-hour ago", said the Mate. "Well, you want to tell your office to give the correct departure time, I could have been left behind. Anyway, when are you due back here?", he asked. The Mate thought for a minute, then said, "Aw, about a couple of weeks is usual on the Fijian run". At that the man looked stunned and said, "Actually, I thought you were the boat going out for the day fishing trip". So much for the size of vessel on our Fiji run.
