Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tupuna kāore i taea e ia te utu i tana ake waka, kua puta mai he otinga auaha - ko te whakanoho i tana waka waka ki runga i te poti, ka kawea ki te wai. Ko Peter Thurston, 80 ona tau, e mau ana i tana kaipuke, i tapaina ko te 'catamavan', i runga i te awa o Swale i Kent i nga wa katoa, ka pai ki nga tirohanga o te tuawhenua. E ai ki a ia, he iti rawa ōna kaipuke mo te whakatere whakangahau, ā, kāore i taea e ia te hoko i tētahi kaipuke nui ake, nō reira i rua tau ki muri i hanga e ia te kaipuke waka hei whakakore i tōna whakaaro ki tana whakarere tata nei. He mea whakamiharo: Ko tenei 'catamavan', he ripeka i waenga i te poti me te waka, kua kitea i te awa o Swale i Kent. He oumu, he pouaka whakamātao, he kaukau, he wharepaku, he moenga takirua me ngā tēpu e rua, ā, he pūkaha iti tōna e whā ngā kōeke. E hia rau ngā pounamu e rua rita e whakaki ana i ngā kōwae takirua, kia kore ai te kaipuke e hemo ahakoa he poka i a ia e haere ana ki runga, ki raro hoki i te awa kotahi. Ka mea a Mr Thurston: 'I hiahia ahau ki tetahi mea he pai, he turanga pumau, he tino whakamarie hoki no te mea he iti noa aku poti katoa. He maha aku kaipuke, ā, mēnā kua eke koe ki tētahi kaipuke, ka mōhio koe kāore e taea e koe te kite atu i te matapihi. Ka tīmata a Peter Thurston ki te hanga i te oko rerekē i a ia e whakarere ana. 'I roto i te Swale ka whiwhi koe i nga po me nga ata ataahua engari i etahi wa he iti te makariri ki te noho ki waho me te kai i tetahi kai na ka kai koe i raro i te papa me te kore e whiwhi i tetahi tirohanga. 'Kāore au i taea te utu i tētahi waka waka, te momo mea e hiahiatia ana e koe kia nui ngā matapihi, kia kai ki waho, nō reira he kōwhiringa pai ake tēnei nā te mea kāore au i whakapau moni nui, ā, ka taea e au te hanga i te rahi e hiahia ana ahau. 'E moe ana ahau i runga i auau i roto i te raumati engari i roto i te hotoke he tino matao, ahakoa e ahau tirohia i runga i te reira auau.' E mea ana a Pita i whakapau ia i te £4,000 ki te hanga i te anga, ka tapiritia: 'Ko te nuinga o te mea i mahia i te papa papa i te kainga. 'Katahi ka mau ahau ki te catamaran ki raro ki te whanga kaipuke, a ka whakaarahia e matou te waka ki runga ki reira. 'Kāore i te whakaaro kia tere, he iti noa iho te pūkaha, engari e whā tonu ngā kōwae. 'I mahia ano hoki e au...
I tīmata a John Thurston ki te hanga i te oko whakamiharo i a ia e whakarere ana. Na ka mau ia ki te anga o te kaipuke, a whakatakotoria ana e ia te waka noho ki runga. He pai ki te 80 tau te pakeke te eke me te heke i te awa o Swale i Kent.
