Its been a while since we had an update from Nelson, New Zealand on the Koorale, I’m pretty much heartbroken looking at this photo. As you can clearly see the port side rail and pilot house is being completely rebuilt and I guess the good news is after a couple month stoppage due to COVID-19  the work has resumed . I can’t say Thank you enough to my Nelson connection Michael Burt for continuing to share photos with us. [email protected]
