The abandoned San Rosa boat saga rolls on. The boat got into difficulty off the Gisborne coast in April and Journalist Matthew Rosenberg says the council and police are unable to locate the owner and crew.

Also he talks to Kathryn about an historic rail bridge that is no longer safe for the city's iconic steam train, and catalogues the cost of cleaning up the ever popular Waikanae Beach ahead of summer.
