Talking about meat free meat. It's meat made out of vegetables. We have a little bit of sample. We are going to do a tasting test. TONIGHT ` MEAT-FREE MEAT. CAN WE REDEFINE WHAT MEAT MEANS TO US? BUT HOW THEY MAKE IT IS TOP SECRET. THIS IS THE BIT WE CAN'T SHOW. PLUS, THIS DOESN'T SOUND POSSIBLE. WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING A WORK OF ART EVERY 7.2 SECONDS. BUT THIS ARTIST IS UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. AND USING SOME INSPIRATION FROM THE PAST TO CREATE A NICHE INDUSTRY. WE ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF CRAFT BEER IN THE MILK INDUSTRY. Lovely to see you. Mike has taken the rest of the year all. I'm afraid it will have to be me. She has brought her Cat to the office. It is our taste test for tonight. IT WAS PROBABLY THE BUSINESS STORY OF THE YEAR ` NZ-OWNED COMPANY SISTEMA SELLING FOR $660M. BUT WE THINK WE'VE FOUND ANOTHER BUSINESS PERSON WHO'S BEGINNING TO MAKE AN INCREDIBLE BREAKTHROUGH THAT COULD, WELL, CHANGE THE WORLD. YES, SHAMA SUKUL LEE'S BIG IDEA COULD HELP SLOW GLOBAL WARMING, RESTORE ANIMAL WELFARE AND SORT OUT THE HEALTH OF OUR HEARTS. SOUND TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? CAROLYN ROBINSON MET THE WOMAN MAKING MEAT WITHOUT AN ANIMAL IN SIGHT. UPBEAT MUSIC CHOOK, CHOOK, CHOOK, CHOOK, CHOOK. SHAMA SUKUL-LEE HAD IT ALL ` A GREAT CAREER, A LOVING HUSBAND, FUR-AND-FEATHER BABIES. BUT THEN... FRANKLY, IT ALL BEGAN WITH AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS, OR I SHOULD SAY EXISTENTIAL CRISES. ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP ` HER ONE WITH MEAT ` BEGAN TO SPOIL. FOR ME, PERSONALLY, I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT I FELT HAD A BIG IMPACT. AND THIS IS THE RESULT. WE TOOK A STEP BACK, AND WE SAID, 'CAN WE REDEFINE WHAT MEAT MEANS TO US?' SO THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF MEAT IS THAT IT COMES FROM SO THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF MEAT IS THAT IT COMES FROM ANIMAL PROTEIN, AND WE SAID, 'WHAT IF WE COULD MAKE MEAT DIRECTLY FROM PLANTS?' AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S DONE ` MEAT-FREE MEAT. THIS IS THE BIT WE CAN'T SHOW? THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S THE BIT I CAN'T SHOW. TOP SECRET? (LAUGHS) THE 'HOW' IS UNDER WRAPS. BUT SHE SAYS THAT'S THE ONLY SECRET. SO WHAT ARE ALL THE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE IN THAT? SO THE KEY INGREDIENTS ARE MOSTLY WATER AND PEA PROTEIN, THEN WE PUT SOME VEGETABLE POWDER, SOME PLANT STARCH, MAISE STARCH AND A LITTLE BIT OF NATURAL YEAST EXTRACT. THE YELLOWY COLOUR COMES FROM THE YELLOW PEAS. AND WHILE REAL CHICKEN IS WHITE, SHE'S AGAINST ADDING ANYTHING UNNECESSARY. FOR US, AGAIN, IT JUST COMES DOWN TO 'DO YOU ADD SOMETHING TO THE PRODUCT 'TO MAKE IT HAVE THIS PARTICULAR LOOK, 'BUT THEN YOU'RE COMPROMISING ON NUTRITION?' THIS ISN'T COMPLETELY NEW. BUT HER COMPETITORS ` ALL OVERSEAS ` ARE FOCUSED ON RED MEAT. SHE'S FOCUSSING ON THE MOST CONSUMED MEAT IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND THE HOME KITCHEN. I'M THE FIRST FEMALE FOUNDER IN THIS HIGH-PROTEIN PLANT MEAT SPACE, AND I VERY STRONGLY BELIEVE IT'S A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, BECAUSE OUR PRIMARY CONSUMERS ARE NURTURERS, SO SUNFED CHICKEN NATURALLY HAS MORE PROTEIN, IRON AND ZINC THAN CHICKEN. BUT WHAT'S IT LIKE TO COOK WITH? IT CRISPS UP A LOT FASTER THAN NORMAL CHICKEN. IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN. AND NOW IT'S MY TURN. CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE STREETS. IT'S NOT MEAT AT ALL? CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. EH? SERIOUSLY? IT REALLY TASTES LIKE CHICKEN. THAT'S FABULOUS. WELL, WE'RE FROM CANADA, SO SEND IT TO US. MIGHT HAVE TO GO FOR SECONDS. (LAUGHS) SUNFED WILL HIT SHOP SHELVES IN A FEW WEEKS. PLANT-BASED BEEF, PORK AND FISH WILL FOLLOW. PLUS, SHE HAS ANOTHER EXISTENTIAL CRISIS TO ADDRESS. CAN YOU MAKE FAST FOOD CHAINS HEALTHIER? AND I THINK WE CAN. ALL OF IT GOOD NEWS FOR BERNIE AND BEATRICE. UPBEAT MUSIC Get amongst it, Jack. Have a close-up of what it looks like. It looks like chicken and it's beautifully prepared. Let's have a little taste. It's really good. That is absolutely that chicken. Why call it meat? It replicates meet in the stringy texture. It's slightly tougher the chicken. By 2050, there will be about 9 billion people on the planet. Stating all those people with animals is really really tough. The global warming impact it will have on reducing our reliance on animal products. I would not know the difference. I would ask for more. Do you have any? I've become a yes man. IT'S ALMOST JANUARY, AND THAT OF COURSE MEANS TIME FOR NEW YEAR'S PLANS AND RESOLUTIONS. BUT HOW ABOUT THIS NEW YEAR'S PROJECT? FROM JANUARY 1ST, ONE MAN PLANS TO PAINT ONE MILLION PAINTINGS IN JUST ONE YEAR. Simon said it was 5 paintings a minute. SOUNDS EXHAUSTING AND A BIT MAD. BUT AS REBECCA EDWARDS FOUND OUT, THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL MOTIVATING THE ARTIST. # SOME PEOPLE SAY I'M BONKERS! WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING A WORK OF ART EVERY 7.2 SECONDS. # THERE'S NOTHING CRAZY 'BOUT ME. YEP, YOU MIGHT SAY HE'S A LITTLE BONKERS. 3750 A DAY. CRAZY, EVEN. 19,000 OR SO A WEEK. BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT. AND THERE'S A METHOD TO FRANCIS SALOLE'S MADNESS. AND A MILLION IN A YEAR. YES, COME JANUARY 1ST THE PAINTER-TURNED-MENTAL HEALTH NURSE IS TAKING A YEAR OFF WORK TO CREATE A MILLION WORKS OF ART. ARE YOU A LITTLE BIT MAD? UH, I'M A LITTLE BIT MAD, YES, AND I THINK IF YOU THINK ABOUT HUMANITY, I THINK A LITTLE BIT OF MADNESS HAS ACTUALLY PROBABLY PROJECTED US INTO QUITE AMAZING PLACES. SELLING EACH PIECE FOR A DOLLAR, THE CASH RAISED WILL HELP TELL THE STORIES AND EXPERIENCES OF THOSE WHO'VE LIVED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. THE MORE I'VE WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL, THE MORE I REALISE HOW MENTAL ILLNESS CAN HAVE SUCH A HUGE AND AWFUL IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S LIVES. HE'S PUTTING A LOT ON THE LINE FOR THIS, BUT FAMILY'S BACKING HIM ALL THE WAY. I WON'T LIE ` THERE ARE REALLY QUITE SCARY MOMENTS FOR US ` BUT I GUESS THAT'S PART OF THE RISK-TAKING. BUT I GUESS THAT'S PART OF THE RISK-TAKING. TO LIVE MORE PURPOSEFULLY IS WORTH IT, I THINK. FINGERS CROSSED. WHO OF US DON'T KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS ANXIOUS OR IS FEARFUL OR IS DEPRESSED? I THINK THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY, REALLY TO BE ABLE TO START TALKING ABOUT THIS STUFF. IN ORDER TO START TO DEAL WITH IT BETTER. (EXHALES SOFTLY) Those are cool. They are cool. I didn't think about the stencil side of it. All the best to him. Just an hour meet story. Everyone has enjoyed it so far and cannot tell the difference. BOTTLES RATTLE LISTEN TO THAT. IT'S A SOUND THAT TAKES ME BACK MANY, MANY YEARS. SO COULD THE OLD GLASS MILK BOTTLE BE MAKING A COMEBACK? WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A NICHE. PLUS, TALK ABOUT AWKWARD. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT RETIRING? WHY? DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVOURITE STORY ABOUT FRANK SINATRA OR SOMEBODY THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? NO. WHAT DID THE REPORTER DO TO GET THIS SORT OF RESPONSE FROM FUNNY MAN JERRY LEWIS? WHILE YOU GUYS ARE ALL SLEEPING IN YOUR BEDS, DREAMING OF POWERBALL, I'M GONNA BRING IN A CRUISE SHIP. SO YOU REALLY WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE A WRONG MOVE. SHE'S 290-ODD METRES LONG, SO IT'S A BIG BOAT. AND THEY RISKED THEIR LIVES TO CAPTURE HISTORY. MIKE THORPE EXPLAINS WHY THIS IS HIS STORY OF 2016. JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYS FROM THE 1963 MOVIE 'WHO'S MINDING THE STORE' AND IS A FAMOUS JERRY LEWIS SCENE. We have to admit neither of us have seen it or heard of it. We were talking about Jerry Lewis. A lot of people thought Jerry lee lewis. WHEN YOU BOIL IT DOWN, OUR JOB HERE IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD ` WE ASK PEOPLE QUESTIONS FOR A LIVING. BUT LIKE ANY JOB, SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T GO VERY WELL. SO WE CAN TOTALLY EMPATHISE WITH THE INTERVIEWER YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE, WHO TRIES TO GET LEGENDARY 90-YEAR-OLD COMEDIAN JERRY LEWIS TO REMINISCE ON HIS LIFE'S WORK. DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS PAINFUL THOUGH. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT RETIRING? WHY? WHAT'S DIFFERENT NOW ABOUT PERFORMING NOW FOR YOU THAN, SAY, 20 YEARS AGO. HOW IS IT`? HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FOR YOU? IT ISN'T. NOT AT ALL? NOT AT ALL. HOW HAVE YOU, SORT OF, MAINTAINED YOUR` YOUR AUDIENCE OVER THE YEARS? YOU TELL 'EM YOU'RE PLAYING THERE AND THEY SHOW UP. (CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS SARDONICALLY) YOU HAVE ANY FAVOURITE STORY ABOUT DEAN OR FRANK SINATRA OR SOMEBODY THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? NOPE. NOT AT ALL? NONE. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA`? NO. SO WE'RE FINISHED. IT'S ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, CLEAN IT OUT OF HERE. Oh dear. That goes on for about 7 min. As well. I had a bit of a bad day with Russell Crowe. He was working on Les Mis. I asked about his seen the movie. It was a bad move. You have 2 min. To fill and it was suddenly the longest 2 min. I was interviewing an all-black on break fast and I literally got 2 word answers for a long time. We just moved on. RIGHT ` TO TONIGHT'S ASB 'GOOD AS GOLD' SANTA EDITION WINNER. THE PRIZE GOES TO ALAN JACKSON. EVEN THOUGH HE IS IN HIS EIGHTIES, ALAN HAS BEEN AN INVERCARGILL KINDERGARTEN SANTA FOR 30 YEARS. EARLIER THIS WEEK HE WAS RUSHED TO HOSPITAL, BUT HIS BIGGEST WORRY WAS THAT HE WOULD DISAPPOINT THE CHILDREN. LUCKILY IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS. HE WAS BACK TO BEING SANTA THE NEXT DAY. SO TO SAY THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS, ASB WANTS TO GIVE YOU $4000, BECAUSE SANTA NEEDS TO TREAT HIMSELF SOMETIMES. THE GREAT MILK WAR'S ON, ISN'T IT? YOU'LL HAVE HEARD BOUTIQUE DAIRY LEWIS ROAD CREAMERY IS SQUARING OFF WITH FONTERRA OVER SUPERMARKET SHELF SPACE AND THE LIKENESS OF THEIR PLASTIC BOTTLES. BUT ALL THE WHILE A NELSON DAIRY PRODUCER IS QUIETLY GOING ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, REINTRODUCING THAT MOST NOSTALGIC OF NOTIONS ` MILK IN GLASS BOTTLES. HERE'S MICHAEL HOLLAND. UPBEAT MUSIC IT SITS SNUGLY ON THE RICHMOND SUBURBAN FRINGE, THIS PATCH OF PROUD PIONEERING HERITAGE. SO I'M SEVENTH GENERATION ON THIS LAND. WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1844. IT'S OUR ROOTS. THIS IS US. THIS IS WHO WE ARE. AND WHO THESE LADIES ARE... THESE ARE AUNT JEAN'S CREW? THAT'S RIGHT. THESE ARE ALL MY AUNT JEAN'S. ...IS CENTRAL TO JULIAN REINE'S VISION FOR THE FUTURE,... ABOUT 200 COWS. ...WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HONOURING A TRADITION OF THE PAST. BOTTLES RATTLE LISTEN TO THAT! IT'S A SOUND THAT TAKES ME BACK MANY, MANY YEARS, AND I'M SURE A GOOD ONE OR TWO OF YOU AS WELL. YEP, THE CLASSIC CLANK OF MILK IN BOTTLES, HEARD FOR THE LAST TIME MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO, IS ON THE WAY BACK. THE WAY MILK USED TO BE. TIPPING HIS HAT TO YESTERYEAR, HE'S LATCHED ON THE NAME AUNT JEAN'S. IT HARKS BACK TO A TIME WHEN ANYONE AND EVERYONE IN NZ HAD AN AUNT JEAN ` AN AUNT OR AN UNCLE WHO WERE FARMERS, AND THEY RELATED VERY STRONGLY TO PEOPLE ON THE LAND. WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A NICHE. WE BELIEVE THE NICHE IS THERE. THE ENTIRE TEAT-TO-BOTTLE PROCESS CARRIED OUT ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING PASTEURISATION. THIS HEATS THE MILK TO 73 DEGREES FOR 15 SECONDS, AND THEN IT IS PASTEURISED. HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS COME OUT OF GLASS. IT'S A LOT BETTER FOR THE MILK. IT KEEPS IT COLDER FOR LONGER, AND IT TASTES SO MUCH BETTER. THE MARKET IS READY FOR THIS. BUT, JULIAN, MILK IS MILK IS MILK? NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S A BIT LIKE SAYING WINE IS WINE IS WINE, OR BEER IS BEER IS BEER. WE ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF CRAFT BEER IN THE MILK CATEGORY. AND BEING UNHOMOGENISED, IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BREAKING UP THE FAT... PEOPLE WANT LESS PROCESSED. ...MAKES FOR ANOTHER NOSTALGIC ELEMENT. YOU GET THE CREAM ON TOP, AND IT'S ALL GOOD, REALLY. (CHUCKLES) WE ARE BOTH OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE CREAM ON THE TOP? WE REMEMBER. DO YOU CONSIDER IT TAKING ON FONTERRA? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ON FONTERRA OR ANY OF THE BIG BOYS. WE ARE WANTING TO GROW THE MARKET, NOT CANNIBALISE THE MARKET. JULIAN REINE MAKING THE LEAP TO ON-SITE PROCESSING AND BOTTLING FOUR YEARS AFTER INSTALLING MILK VENDING MACHINES AT HIS FARM GATE. I PREFER BOTTLES EVERY TIME. THE CAFES AND RESTAURANTS WERE ACTUALLY COMING HERE FOR THEIR MILK, SO WE SAID, 'WE WILL BRING THE MILK TO YOU IN GLASS BOTTLES.' HOME DELIVERIES AND RETAIL THE LOGICAL NEXT STEP. WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN A YEAR'S TIME? I'D LIKE TO BE IN 100 SUPERMARKETS AROUND NZ. THE FARM OF ORIGIN, SO YOU CAN TRACE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE FARM. THAT'S SO GOOD. MMM. THAT IS SO GOOD. THIS IS TO COMMEMORATE ALL THE JEANS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. THE AUNT JEAN THAT WE ALL KNEW? THE AUNT JEAN THAT WE ALL KNEW. AUNT JEAN'S IS AVAILABLE AT SELECTED RETAILERS AT THE TOP OF THE SOUTH ISLAND AND IN AUCKLAND, WITH PLANS FOR A WIDER DISTRIBUTION COVERING MUCH OF THE COUNTRY EARLY NEXT YEAR. Notice everything is harking back to nostalgia. GETTING UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING IS A TOUGH SELL, BUT JAMIE MAKES IT SOUND PRETTY APPEALING. THE SUNRISES ARE WORTH IT. AND THERE'S A FEW MORE PERKS TO BEING A TUG DRIVER TOO. OUT HERE I CAN GO WHEREVER I WANT TO. THERE'S NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS. SIREN WAILS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT ANY OF THEM HAD SEEN THEIR RAW FOOTAGE. MIKE THORPE REFLECTS ON HIS STORY OF THE YEAR. IT WAS A REAL PRIVILEGE TO SHOOT THAT STORY. # ...AND IF YOU WANT MORE, IF YOU WANT MORE, # MORE, MORE, MORE! # THEN JUMP # FOR MY LOVE. # JUMP IN AND FEEL MY TOUCH. I would love to see you reenact that. Can you just imagine that? I can run quickly downstairs. It's unbelievable. I was designed to do it. The reason we wanted toplay that for you was because a lot of people will be watching that. The castle is what I like. Home alone is what I like. Apparently Hugh Grant hated that scene and didn't want to do it. But it's what we remember. What are you talking about? I love you. That one. WHEN WE ASKED MIKE THORPE WHICH STORY STOOD OUT TO HIM THIS YEAR, THERE WAS ONE VERY CLOSE TO HIS HEART. ON THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHRISTCHURCH QUAKE, HE SAT DOWN WITH THREE TVNZ CAMERAMEN WHO WERE WORKING THAT DAY, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, HE GOT THEIR PERSPECTIVE. THE STORY THAT STUCK WITH ME FOR 2016 WAS THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 2011 FEBRUARY QUAKE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. BLOOD'S RED. SHOULD I BE FILMING THIS OR SHOULD I BE GETTING IN AND HELPING? THIS WAS THE REALITY THAT CAMERAMEN WERE WALKING THROUGH. IS THERE ANYONE UNDER THERE?! HOLY SHIT! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW. ANYONE THERE? MIKE! OH, IT'S JUST A SMALL ONE. OH, NO, IT'S NOT. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ANY OF THEM HAD SEEN THEIR RAW FOOTAGE IN THE FIVE YEARS SINCE THEY HAD SHOT IT. HE'S EXPLAINING WHAT'S GOING ON. I CAN JUST FEEL THE TEMPERATURE CHANGING. WAS THE GUY OK WHO CAME OUT OF THAT CAR? NO, HE WAS DEAD. IT WAS ONE MOMENT THAT YOU JUST CAN'T FORGET. IT'S HISTORY HAPPENING. YOU'RE SEEING HISTORY HAPPENING, AND YOU'RE HEARING IT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO CAPTURED IT. I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE EPICENTRE. I WAS LIKE, 'HOLY SHIT, IT'S ALL HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.' AND I THOUGHT, WHOEVER'S GOT A FLAT IN THIS BUILDING, THIS WILL BE A SHOT IN THE HEART. WE AS VIEWERS ` BECAUSE I WAS A VIEWER TOO ` WATCHING IT WITH THEM, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE OF HEARING AND SEEING WHAT THEY WERE DOING ON THAT DAY AND WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO CAPTURE, WHAT THEY WERE DOING ON THAT DAY AND WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO CAPTURE, YEAH, IT'S A STORY THAT WILL STICK WITH ME FOR QUITE A WHILE. I bet. A really touching story. THEY'RE OFTEN THE STARS OF OUR HARBOUR, AREN'T THEY ` THE MASSIVE CRUISE LINERS AND CARGO SHIPS. BUT SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE LITTLE TUG BOAT THAT GETS THEM INTO PORT SAFELY. YES, GUIDING THE LARGE VESSELS INTO THEIR BERTHS IS A SPECIALIST JOB, AND ONE THAT'S DONE ALL THROUGH THE DAY AND NIGHT. SO WE WENT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TUG MASTER. UPBEAT, CATCHY DANCE MUSIC MY NAME IS JAMIE. I'M A TUG SKIPPER AT PORTS OF AUCKLAND. THIS IS MY BEAST. AND WHILE YOU GUYS ARE ALL ASLEEP IN YOUR BEDS, DREAMING OF POWERBALL, I'M GONNA BRING IN A CRUISE SHIP. WE'RE PICKING UP A CRUISE SHIP, THE EMERALD PRINCESS, THIS MORNING. SHE'S 290-ODD METRES LONG, SO IT'S A BIG BOAT. WE'LL SEE IT COME AROUND NORTH HEAD SHORTLY, FULLY ABLAZE, WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON AND ALL THE PASSENGERS STANDING OUT ON DECK IN THEIR BATHROBES, TAKING PHOTOS. HAURAKI 10, MORNING, MATT. WE'LL GO AFTER. I NEVER GET BORED OF THE VIEW. THE SUNRISES ALWAYS CHANGE, THE WEATHER PATTERNS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING, AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO GET UP AT 4 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, THE SUNRISES ARE WORTH IT. I'M JUST MAINTAINING STATION WITH A SHIP AND HOLDING MY POSITION, SO I'M DRIVING AHEAD AND MATCHING HIS SPEED. READY TO PUSH OFF. THE CHALLENGES OF THIS JOB ARE BASICALLY FATIGUE MANAGEMENT, BECAUSE WE'RE AN AROUND THE CLOCK OPERATION. I'VE BEEN HERE AT PORTS OF AUCKLAND FOR JUST OVER 20 YEARS. I LOVE MY JOB. I LIKE THE WEATHER AND BEING ON THE WATER, AND I WORK WITH GREAT PEOPLE. THIS IS HAURAKI'S ENGINE ROOM. THIS IS ONE OF HER ENGINES. EACH CYLINDER IS ROUGHLY THE SAME HORSEPOWER AS YOUR 3L SUV. IN COMPARISON, THE TUG DOES LOOK TEENY-TINY COMPARED TO A SHIP, BUT YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH FORCE IT CAN EXERT. THIS JOB DIFFERS FROM THE CRUISE JOB IN THAT THIS VESSEL ISN'T NEARLY AS MANOEUVRABLE AS THE CRUISE SHIP WAS. SO I HAVE TO ASSIST THIS VESSEL TO GET INTO ITS BERTH. I'M GOING TO SLOW HIM DOWN BEFORE HE MAKES HIS TURN INTO HIS BERTH. RELAXED MUSIC I FIND WORKING ON THE WATER IS A REALLY GOOD ANTIDOTE TO BEING IN THE CITY AND SPENDING MOST OF YOUR TIME ON AUCKLAND'S ROADS. OUT HERE, I CAN GO WHEREVER I WANT TO. THERE'S NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS. What a lad. Those were doughnuts? I hope you're getting a break over Christmas. We got a few text messages about your Christmas jumper. Really Jack tame. I think this is a tradition now. You wanted the past Christmases.
