wheels 543 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Nelson and the Westcoast are really wearing the brunt of the storm.I was sent this pic and with the following caption.This yacht broke its mooring, hit two boats, ran into Rocks Road in 3 different areas in huge surf, then ran a ground on Haulashore Island, drifted back across the harbour and hit the seawall next to Connolly's Pier and then went that high into the air it snapped a branch off a Pohutukawa tree which landed on the bow then drift past Arrow rock and didn't hit it to end up on Tahunanui Beach, give that boat a DB!!!

madyottie 82 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Maybe it was searching for the missing tourist? Same beach wasn't it? Or was that yesterday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grant 40 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 that's quite some damage. If I've got it right the top photos is the Boatshed Cafe which sits a (usually ) healthy distance above the water, the next two are "the boathouse" way back was the sea scouts and maybe the rowing club (60ish years now....) and the last photo is Nelson Yacht Club. The have a lot of boat storage on the same level so hopefully not too many battered boats. "Haulashore Island" way back in the day when proper ships had sails (and a long way before the cut was put through the boulder bank) it was a nice sheltered spot with 3-4 m tides so most likely a handy post for some bum cleaning. One or two modern ships have tried to repeat that in more recent times, thankfully unsuccessfully.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
