New Boats get a traditional blessing

Thank you to all those who attended our karakia for the naming of four new boats. It was beautiful day, special thanks goes to Te Ringa Te Awhe for blessing our boats and the young rowers that participated. Also the wonderful voices of our singing crew.
Thanks also to Hayden at Mt View Screenprinting for suppling the decals at short notice.
