Coastguard invitation to cruise
Kawau Coastguard volunteers are seeking community support for their cruise for a cause fundraiser.
Kawau Volunteer Coastguard has started urgent fundraising for a $250,000 upgrade to its rescue boat and is inviting the community to “cruise for a cause”.
The boat is 11 years old and is scheduled for a refit later this year to allow volunteer crew to continue their work.
The Kawau unit is hosting a twilight cruise along the Matakana Coast, around Kawau Island, Moturekareka Island and Motuketekete Island, as well as up the Mahurangi River on Thursday, March 25, from 6pm to 10pm.
Tickets are $150 and include a welcome drink, surf n’ turf style buffet and prize entry. It will be limited to 100 passengers.
