Project Island Song
Restoring the Biodiversity of the Eastern B.O.I.
Waewaetorea Planting Sunday 20th June
Spare day: If Sunday 20th is postponed the planting will be rescheduled for Wednesday 23rd June.
Weather permitting, 70 volunteers are needed to plant native plants on Waewaetorea. Waewaetorea is a 47 hectare island next to Urupukapuka Island and although cattle were removed from it in the early 1990s, natural revegetation has been impeded by intensive kikuyu growth. The plan is to plant about 1800 native plants in a small catchment facing Okahu passage. This is the 8th year of planting and will add to the 8000 plants of previous years.
Fullers have again very generously offered their large catamaran for transport at no charge and the crew also donate their time at no charge.
The boat will leave Paihia wharf at 0930 sharp.
Be there by 0910.
Return trip will leave at 3pm with ETA Paihia 3.45 pm approx.
The boat will call at Russell if required so please advise me if you intend to embark there.
Bring clean (and sharp) spade, lunch, water, towel, and waterproof jacket.
Boots and spades must be clean to avoid spreading weeds and muddying the boat. Take a plastic bag to cover your spade for transport
A reasonable level of fitness is required as some of the terrain is steep and carrying plants is involved.
Biosecurity: All 3 species of rats have been removed from the island and Project Island Song is absolutely dependent on not reintroducing rats or stoats. Please pack your lunch in sealed containers, check your gear for unwelcome stowaways and check footwear for seeds etc
If you are interested it is essential to contact Rod Brown preferably by email as the planting day is very weather dependent.

For those of us with Suzuki Outboards Sale a reasonable fear of the ocean, this is a worst case scenario: Last week, Dan Suski, 30, and his sister Kate Suski, 39, chartered a fishing boat in St. Lucia. Things were going fine, despite the rough seas, and the siblings even managed to hook a 200-pound marlin. They were battling the giant fish when water rushed onto the boat and flooded its engine room. As the captain radioed for help, another surge Yamaha 4 Stroke Outboard of water swamped the boat. At that point, the captain tossed the Suskis life jackets and ordered them into the ocean.
"He said, 'Jump out! Jump out!'" Kate Suski recalled in a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
The captain and the first mate soon joined them and Yamaha 150 outboard, five minutes later, the boat sank, leaving the group stranded at least eight miles from shore. The group stayed put for the first hour, awaiting rescue. No one came. The group started to swim, but the rough waves caused the Suskis to became separated from the captain and first mate. "We would just see swells and gray," Dan Suski said.
Hours went by. A helicopter and search plane arrived but failed to notice the two siblings. They continued swimming. Eventually, the sun went down.
"There's this very real understanding that the situation is Yamaha outboard motors dire," Kate Suski said. "You come face-to-face with understanding your own mortality ... We both processed the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark?"
Neither could stop thinking about sharks. "I thought I was going to vomit I was so scared," Kate said.
Finally, after 14 hours, they came within 30 feet of land only to discover the coast was covered with cliffs, making it impossible to climb from the ocean. “We knew we would get crushed,†Kate said.
They kept swimming, Yamaha outboards Sale finally finding a small stretch of sand. Once ashore, they collapsed before again going into survival mode to avoid hypothermia. They hiked into the island and huddled together, covering themselves in grass and brush to stay warm. They spent the night like that, only moving when the sun rose. It took three hours before they found a farmer, who called police and gave them water and crackers.
They would later find out that the captain and first mate had been rescued after 23 hours in the ocean.
Despite dehydration, severe tendonitis and Honda outboards Sale cuts over their feet and back, the couple didn't blame anyone for the ordeal.
"We are so grateful to be alive right now," Kate Suski said. "Nothing can sort of puncture that bubble."
