Images: Wellington farewell for Oil Free Seas yachts
Messages of support on the sail of SV Tiama, which along with SV Baltazar (in the background) is given public farewell in Wellington as they head off to join the Oil Free Seas Flotilla. Boats in the flotilla left Auckland, Kaikoura and the Bay of Islands earlier this week. They will meet about 110 nautical miles west of Raglan where Anadarko is about to start exploratory oil drilling. The flotilla is a coalition of individuals and boat owners who oppose deep-sea drilling and the new legislation that takes away New Zealanders long-standing right to peacefully protest at sea.
