I'm Back I've given the dogs away, given up the Pig hunting, sold the business and house, brought a boat/yacht called Invererne, (quite a mouth full I know). Firstly a big shout out to Graham Finagin and Kelly Briggs without their help I wouldn't be sitting here in Opua marina preparing to sail to Fiji with the wonderful Isabelle Gasparini.  Graham Finagin, Graham rebuilt the D series Ford in the boat, we started with an oil leak in the front seal of the gear box and ended up re-sleeving the motor, bearings, valves etc etc , I spent the whole time in the workshop with Graham (mostly in the wash bay) while watching Graham do what he's good at, Graham is old school, don't mention the metric scale in his workshop, he loves these old motors, loads of torque, 40 Lb flywheel and will run for days at 1000 Revs, giving me 7kts, eat your hearts out Yanmar owners.  Kelly Briggs,  This man fished the west coast of the south Island for 20 years and lived. I meet him in Nelson ...
