The Harbour Master’s
diary
• Four container ships, a new tuna vessel for repairs, the Cape Ferrat departure, the Monte Stello, nine large fishing vessel movements and several smaller ones, a log ship, a cement ship, some ships refuelling, all led to the port personnel being kept very busy. • A small conflict on Wednesday night between the yacht racers and a ship coming in was sensibly resolved by a slight delay in the start race. • The Thursday night swims continue from the Yacht Club on Wakefield Quay with great success. It is good to see the increased level of safety measures with support from kayakers. • The boat ramps; during this time of great activity please be patient, don’t loiter on the ramp, get well clear as quickly as possible. If you meet the HM or a launch warden, respond with a smile, we care for your wellbeing. • Monaco is popular with water skiers, jet skis and swimmers. It appears a HM presence may be necessary, there are some guys or girls on jet skis or power boats that fail to understand that 5 knots within 200m of the shore or 50m of a swimmer means no faster than walking pace. The law is a national one and it carries a hefty fine. Some people have suffered serious consequence for ignoring it so I implore you to be aware of your responsibilities. Safe Boating this summer, Dave Duncan, Harbour Master/Marine Operations Manager.

as our grand sponsor this year.” A solar hot water system should save the average home (four person family) in Nelson about $450 a year in electricity. Caleb says a big thank you to his dad who entered this competition at the Jaycar Nelson store. “It is such a wonderful gift for Christmas and with a family of five we are looking forward to the power of the sun putting some cash back in our pockets.” Nelson residents also have the opportunity of buying solar hot water via the Nelson City Council’s solar saver scheme where the cost of the system is attached to the property over a ten year loan period. A free solar hot water home assessment can be booked with SolarCity online www.solarcity.co.nz.
Love fish n chips? Then you’ll love the all new Seabreeze City Takeaways. New owners Calvert and Donna James know how to cook great fish n chips and now they are in charge of Seabreeze. Their last shop in Blenheim was judged one of the top five fish and chip shops in New Zealand, a feat the couple want to replicate in Nelson.

Calvert and Donna packed up and left Blenheim in a matter of weeks after finding out that Seabreeze was on the market. They saw the potential in the location and size of Seabreeze and are hoping to make it known as the best fish and chip shop in Nelson. Calvert says the range of the shop is a big plus, but the reason the shop will do well is because it is nothing fancy, “just good ole fish
and chips.” Although his secret golden batter recipe might have one or two things to do with it. “We also like to source all burger ingredients locally and all the contents fresh daily when possible,” Calvert says. The new fish and chip shop is open seven days, to place your order phone them on 546-6299.
