One way of getting to work in the morning is by boat, but such a mode of transport does not find favour with many. To some of the staff of Griffin, Hodgson, West and Yates, however, it sounded a jolly good lark, even though the journey was quite a long one, from Cemetery Point to the Trafalgar Street Bridge. An outgoing tide helped the rowers until they reached the outlet of the Maitai River, where some came to a standstill. During the trip one of the rowers, Graham Anderson, dislocated a shoulder when his boat capsized and had to go to hospital. Winner was John West, seen at top left, helping Michael Price and Ivan Rlchardson to beach their dinghy.
