Motoring Up The Shallow Hatea River and Under A Draw Bridge to Haul Out in New Zealand

Episode 326 : Season 10 : New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode I drive Triteia up a very shallow river to get hauled out and her bottom cleaned. My friend Zhané came along as crew to help me out, something I was very grateful for. THANK YOU Zhané 🙏🏻

As we made our way up the winding Hatea river, making sure to stay near the marks as it shallowed to less than 5ft below the keel at one point. The next obstical was the draw bridge, which was been designed to look like a Māori fishhook! Once past the bridge safely we hauled out and got to work on the bottom which was well fouled after spending so much time in the Bay of Islands.
