Kia ora water-lovers!

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:

1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.

2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.

3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.

Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.

What local acts would you like to see on stage in the Waikato Regional Theatre?
Kiwi musician Stan Walker says there are "rough diamonds" in the hood in Hamilton, and the theatre plans could give them an opportunity.
Walker grew up in Hamilton - once attending Fairfield Intermediate and Hamilton Boys' High - and was back in town on Tuesday.
As well as hosting a workshop at Zeal, he gave a plug for $73.9 million plans for a Waikato Regional Theatre.
"I reckon there's a lot of rough diamonds here waiting to be given an opportunity," he said.
"The hood is where you're going to get the most talented people. They just haven't been exposed to [arts] like everyone else has."

Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Kia ora fellow nature lovers,

Navigating Nature educates and collaborates with locals on plastic waste in Indonesia and they need your likes to continue.
www.facebook.com...

I would like to introduce you to Matt and Nadine who are behind Navigating Nature. They are two friends of mine who are bringing a research vessel from Australia to the Caribbean and along the way have been organising trips to schools (mostly in Indonesia) to educate children about the issues plastic cause in the environment and how to prevent that. They educate adults too and organise beach and river clean-ups with locals. They have been doing this amazing work for months and pay for most of it out of their own pockets. All they would like from you is to give their facebook page a like, share it or follow them on Instagram. They hope more followers might lead to possibilities for sponsorship.

Ideally we would keep their projects afloat by making them go viral ;) .

Every like and follower counts. www.facebook.com...

PS: Have a look on their page it is so awesome to read about their amazing and inspiring work!
