Hi All,Not a great day out on Z wharf this week with a cold Southerly wind blowing and only 6 volunteers on board. To make matters worse, the power box on the wharf was not working, so no electricity for power tools and the Galley. Kevin saved the day by cranking up the barbecue to heat up his legendary pea and ham soup, which warmed us up. After lunch, the Port Company electrician had not shown up, so we decided to call it quits and pack up for the day. Here's hoping for better weather next week.On Friday night, Tug President Mike Bruce and I attended an evening recognising local Lyttelton volunteer organisations and their members to celebrate their contribution to the community. Mike gave a speech about the history of our Tug and our plans to restore, and hopefully in the not too distant future, to have the Tug out sailing with passengers on the harbour again. It was very well received by the audience. We were presented with a stunning Maori inspired wooden carving which will take pride of place on the Tug. It was a very well run event with a very comprehensive supper supplied and free drinks from the bar. A great event and an opportunity to promote all the work that our volunteers do on our weekly "Thursday Tug".Thursday Tug as normal next week the 16th of July, but a reminder that from and including Thursday the 23rd of July, there will be no access to Z wharf for 5 weeks, as the Port Company is relocating the railway tracks into Port Lyttelton.See you next week,Carl.
