Boat people


Recommended Posts

Apparently grounded kiwis are now chartering motorboats and 'driving' them across the Tasman to get home and dodgy the MIQ cluster.

What could possibly go wrong? A bunch of random strangers, a big ocean, and not a lot of idea. I'm sure it will work out great until someone losses an eye.

The below article didn't say how they get the charter cat back to Aus. Maybe there is a market niche here for someone to offer a shuttle service between Opua and Sydney?

People have been chartering private jets and filling it up with randoms to cover the cost. Could be some money in a trans-tasman ferry service. I'm assuming the boat would need to be MSA surveyed and all of that. Wonder how much people are willing to pay to avoid the MIQ issue?
