Trawlers On Manoeuvres
Home are the sailors, home from the sea ...
"Norman McLeod" and "Emma J" arriving at Onehunga on January 18, 2017

TRAWLER ACTION ON PORT OF ONEHUNGA TV

"Moata" arrives on a murky morning
"Giorgina" turning towards the wharf as she prepares to berth
"Norman McLeod" in full flight as she approaches the wharf
"Emma J" hove to as she prepares to berth ...
... and now moving in to tie up alongside "Norman McLeod"
The distinctive yellow superstructure of "Okarito" heads for home
"Okarito" looking in vain for a berth on the main wharf
"San Rakaia" surges towards Onehunga
"San Rakaia" approaching the wharf, upon which at least a dozen Sanford staff are awaiting her arrival, ready to swing into action the instant she comes alongside. It's a very slick operation

... and here are four trawlers going nowhere fast! "Happy VI", "Unity", "Koru II" and "Marewa" trapped in the fishing basin mud at low tide.
