This is the day Terrigal underwater water group TUG got its first really practical dive boat. Three of us went to Sydney to have a look at this Dehaviland boat. Peter Marshall club treasurer, the money man. Peter Mark, he said he knew about outboards and me, 'cos
I knew about boats. We rocked the boat, kicked the tyres and started to haggle over the price. The owner wanted about $20000. Then he said something silly. He said he had to get $5000 to pay back his Nan.
Peter Marshall in one quick move had $5000 in notes in this guys hand. We hooked the trailer to my car Peter shook his hand and we were off to Terrigal.with a boat that served the club very well for many years.
