End Of Long Voyage

The 75ft Scottish trawler Honeydew sailed triumphantly into the Gisborne harbour last month after completing a 12,000 mile voyage from Aberdeen in 55 days.

Manned by a crew of five Scots and a New Zealander, the vessel was being delivered to its new owner, Gisborne fisherman Tony Bonica.
