There was plenty of fun and excitement down at Cockle Bay on Saturday where the Howick Lions brought together WaterSafe (Auckland), the Scouts and our Coastguard to raise much-needed funds for the Scouts and the Coastguard. Out on the water, homemade rafts vied for coveted line honours, with the Coastguard proving formidable and entertaining competitors as they unleashed their special water gun to ward off other rafts which strayed into their territory. While Howick Rescue 1 patrolled the sea off the beach,WaterSafe Auckland ensured all participants were properly secure in approved life jackets.
The big crowd on the beach enjoyed the many races out on the water, and with treasure hunts and bouncy castles for the small ones there were prizes galore. Howick Lions Vice President, Grant Taylor, said, "The creativity of the raft-builders was just amazing and with the sun and tide just right it made for a splendid day of competition and learning. We look forward to generating an even bigger event next year."
