  13. Kawakawa Bay Boat Club 1po3910rheid · We have been contacted by Maritime Police regarding people crossing the sea border to go fishing in the mussel farms. Please stay within the Auckland border, most of the people stopped today have got Boat Club stickers - this doesn't look good for our club. They will be patrolling over the coming days and your could face a fine if you are caught over the border. Thank you.
