About Me

In 1965 We ended up in Russell in the Bay of Islands on our Honeymoon, and I saw all these Striped Marlin being weighed in and decided that I had to catch one. Over the next couple of years I chartered boats in the Bay of Islands and in Tauranga without a result, and it was expensive, so we decided that we needed our own boat.

Over the next 10 years I built an 18ft. and a 34ft boat and managed to catch a few Marlin up and down the coast. In 1979 I sold my Motor Trimming Business in Tokoroa and went to live in Tauranga and went into selling boats. In 1981 I joined Taylors Shipbrokers in Auckland, and enjoyed working with a successful team, learning the trade.
