Wanted to plug a business that saved my bacon a few weeks ago.
 
BOI Boat Stoarage pick up your car and trailer, store it and drop it back at the ramp (and help you load!)
Arrived at Opua at the end of regatta week and was screwed for a park and was solo. The ladies in the marina office gave me Tracy's number and five minutes later I was all sorted. Dropped my car and trailer at his lock up and he dropped me back at the boat and I was off for a late afternoon (successful) solo mish.
Great service and peace of mind, will use them every time I am overnighting up there in the future.

Think it was $15 a night and $20 for the pick up drop off (or vice versa).
Been some criminal activity in the marina carpark recently so I'm sold.he does a better rate for longer term storage if you want to leave the boat up there and not have to tow between trips.
