Mayor At The Oar
When Tainui Sea Scouts launched their new boat on the placid waters of the Waimata (see pictures elsewhere in this issue), they persuaded the Mayor and Mayoress to accept the honour of a "first ride'" in the craft. Once aboard the lugger, Mr Barker found himself promoted to stroke, and to the great amusement of the boys was put through the dril.
Required to earn his passage with a hearty heave-ho on the oar.
