I'll Bite. Who in NZ?

[Jono 42]

So I see in the update the NZ connection is all but done.

I've got a couple of guesses as to whom it might be but wonder if they are announcing themselves yet?

My first guess is a small brokerage underneath the Ponce.

Yep, Tony has been talking about it for a while now so it would be a surprise to see anyone else pick it up at this stage. But who is going to own the boat?
