ex Elly 221 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 "A letter with 13 signatories representing around 3500 recreational boaties was sent to Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown last week calling for protection of cleaning facilities. It points out that the region only has a third of the haul out capacity needed to clean boats at a time when fines up to $100,000 were being dished out for dirty hulls."
