A Cessna 150M was flying to Motueka, South Island, from Brightwater, near Nelson to meet some fellow pilots when the aircraft ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing on a sandbar in Motueka. Before the sandbar got flooded with water, the pilot managed to get some fuel from a friend via helicopter and managed to take off from the sandbar.
