Battered by heavy beam seas for 36 hours, a converted Fairmile, now the Iris Moana, put into Gisborne in the early hours of this morning to await an abatement of the weather before continuing her voyage front Wellington to Auckland. The craft has been converted for pleasure cruises on the Marlborough Sounds and is now on its way to Auckland in order to complete her equipment.
