Marina when the tide is out

Not as romantic a sight as when the tide is full and the boats are floating high on their moorings.
I was down there early to take a look at where we might hold the book launch we are having in February on Motueka Wharf 100 Years.
It was overcast and a cold southerly came up so I didn't linger. Home to make up an agenda for the book committee meeting and ask last minute questions of the writer and publisher.
The meeting made the toughest decision which was book price and then discussed at length what needs to be done to advertise the event and what will happen on the day. Most decisions made so we are well ahead of schedule and will be able to relax over the holidays.
