A TEAM of river cruise
enthusiasts in New Zealand
spent five weeks constructing
their own raft.
The high end float,
constructed by Tim Riddell and
his mates, was complete with
a mezzanine, motor and picnic
table to keep the munchies at
bay, Stuff reports.
Snags were enjoyed on board
the raft after the boys made a
detour to get the all-essential
tomato sauce.
The launch day saw 20 people
jump aboard a day trip from
Hamilton to Taupiri.
Riddell had done a test run
prior to the sojourn and was
confident it was float worthy.
Quirky rafts have floated on
the Waikato River before, for
the annual River Float in the
featuring couches, barbecues
and pot plants.
