The Port of Otago's newest tug (November 2016).
It is named after "Aunty Alice" Keretai, the daughter of a Maori Chief. You can read a bit more about the tug's specifications and the interesting account of how the original Aunty Alice got her name HERE
Arihi was built in Turkey and cost NZ$7 million

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Very good take here my friend I like not only the tug, but the backdrop sets off the color so well, and I like how the water looks in this shot.

A very striking image Lyn. Contrast is great and the reflection in the water really sets it off.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

Couldn't they have built it in NZ? I know there's place up on the north island that could have handled the task. In any event, nice shot of this mighty vessel.

Thanks for this very fine capture of this 'maritime workhorse', Lyn.

Thanks for the interesting article in the Otago Daily Times too.

Great to learn of this history, wonderful photo. Especially like the background, the boat and of course, the reflections, great composition.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
