I should have posted this under the 'Humorous" heading.
The last Labour government has run the New Zealand armed forces down so much they are a joke, but not funny.
The way the skipper is looking at his motor, I wonder if he thinks he can get back to HMS Philomel, about a kilometre along the Devonport shoreline.

That's classic and unfortunately true too. I guess we need to invest in some oars in case of engine failure. The Pirates wouldn't stand a chance against them LOL :)

The NZ Navy are as useful as the NZ Police, enough said ;). Very clear photo Peter, the tone of the sea that day really brings out the details. Humourous presentation, reminds me of the Tui ads.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Pete,
Humorous, but not funny for New Zeland, of course. You captured the navy guys really well, sharp and bright action photo with nice postcard style. The Mercury engine is great I've travlled by a boat powered by that, you can find a shot of that in my gallery posted long months ago. :)
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
Kristof

Oh the Aussies will look after us wont they...lol

Surely is a bit of a laugh the New Zealand Navy, the frigates arent much bigger than this!..often see them outside my backdoor!

Nice sharp image here Pete, and love your presentation.

Well done.

Hi Peter,

Yes, this would make a nice photo under the "humour" shots. I think it's a nice one. I like how the guy is looking at the motor. Nice, interesting border and text too.
