Camera Trouble
 |
If you're a regular user of the Live Webcam you'll notice that it's access has been intermittent of late. Whether it's due to the windy conditions of a week or so back or just the fact that it's been out in the elements for a number of years it appears as though some major work will need to be done to get it back online. ** Some further investigation has revealed that the cable extending to the camera needs replacing. This will be done ASAP. |
Full Power on the Port Side
 |
A few around the club wondered if it would ever happen! But on Saturday the long awaited port engine, a 110 hp Volvo Penta, was dropped into place on Kaloha III. After a short trip down to the south wall to have the work done, skipper Bob can be seen arriving back on the mooring. |  |
