Racing towards Wattle Bay
|
Round the (Cape) Horn and homeward bound
|
Dwarfed by the bush-clad slopes of the Hillsborough shoreline
|
Tika standing to, with the slopes of Mt. Mangere beyond
|
14,695 days in service, and still a formidable sight
|
Negotiating the Wairopa Channel one last time
|
Three more horn blasts for Hillsborough's residents
|
The last turn for home
|
The final arrival of Westport, with Mt. Mangere beyond
|
Oh, for a dollar for every tonne of cement that's been pumped through that housing into the pipe connections below left
|
Up close and personal - taken from the end of the dolphin
|
Westport retires after a career spanning some 40 years and 85 days
|
Welcome to retirement, old friend (with Tika cameo)
