  1. About 15 years ago (okay, probably 20) Lady Rua was anchored in the bay at the end of Garnett Road near Motions Creek; I found out the owners name determined to buy the little mulletty of many memories - but the owner wouldn't consider it, was affronted even.
    Years later, anchored at Putiki Bay I ran into Russ Monroe ... and he told me he had lady Rua (but dried out with many gaps) by his back shed. He was intent on restoration - but don't know what has happened since then.
