How was this possible, in calm conditions?
Your’re going a bit overboard on the whole Rena thing. back to PT news?
@Sean And what PT stories have you been missing Sean? There have been several in the last week here you have never read in the Royal NZ Herald. Rena happens to be the biggest transport story of the year but the RWC has also meant fewer transport developments going on.
Well I live in Australia,im 20 and this is my home town this has happend in and im trying to find out as much information about what’s going on as i can,people like Jon C are helping me with this and keeping me informed and I thank them.
