Seems simple to me, pump and water on retrieval goes through a big filter similar to what they use to pump water from sewage plant before water goes back to sea like at mangere,

And now need to purchase a hop card if commuter's to use AK train/bus network, Lets see how long NZ bus drivers keep their jobs,not collecting fares next 3 days,be regarded as theft me thinks. Just go back to the good ole days of Ara buses?

Next week. Commuters need to find their own way from Papakura to CBD

So Thomas has been a naughty engine, the Fat controller steps in, now Bertie and Bulgy the buses gets their wish, down with trains.😂

And would all this building be going on if Dalton/Etnz didn't go to Spain??

And the joke?? They're going to put buses on from papakura but the drivers are on strike.

No the train didnt run the light,. For the train to run the light suggests its automatic so then the fault would be with computor system but thats not the case. The driver did,why did he/she run the light and does he /she still have their employment is the question? Have been thinking about White Island,active volcano and that is a risk you take? Metservice gives bum forecast and you have a diaster,can you then sue metservice? All based on computor modelling but White Island monitored by Geonet so are they answerable to the diaster?

Why would a simple style gold suction dredge not work?? Bring ashore and dump it rather than what we are told,put it back,treat it like didimo?

H&S is required but some the ideas are impractical. Working in a Sheetmetal shop late 70s,the Labour inspector turned up and explained how a guard was required on the pressbrake machine,was pointed out once foot off pedal machine stopped,But we put the guard on as per instructions,the labour man came back to inspect,was then shown certain operations couldnt take place with guard on,thats when he walked away and never returned.

Like the idea of suction dredge.

H&S is a complete joke, we have monthly H&S meetings at work, resolutions reached but not followed. A lot of policies are detrimental to the business. Just get the job done. We recently had a work accident out on the road at a customers site. The person involved should of been instantly sacked but because we were short of staff. The employee involved(newbie)wasn't time(apparently to sign them off)had the incident and company wearing the cost due to failure on side of the company. A few yrs a go a person was killed on our site. Due to being in a hurry ,opened dock door to see what

The question is,why did they dive there,very strong currents. Did someone report it as found on anchor??

fair enough but surely there must be some resposibilty on seller/broker to inform me that there are rules/regulations I need to know before venturing to sea?

as a veseel owner,should I need to find out rules/regulations before leaving mooring/ramp/marina or should a governing body display rules regulation in prominent positions? Currently no licence/rego requierd so why should I know the rules?? https://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/recreational/rules-on-the-water/#:~:text=It is your responsibility to,the rules before heading out. It is your responsibility to know and understand the rules before heading out.

suspect if they look hard enough the gulf will be a mat in several direction from the barrier,tides stop for no man

Been watching "channel patrol" on prime tv,talk about congestion but no real danger,why?? because they have proper harbour patrol with real harbour masters doing their job and a coastguard watching radar etc ashore,their lifeboat crews would be equivalent to our coastguard and their coastguard would be what our maritime police should be doing.

No mention of stopping Customary rights?

Proposed temporary fisheries closure of Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island) and nearby islands Tēnā koe, The Motairehe Marae Trust, supported by iwi trust board Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai ki Aotea, has requested a temporary closure to the harvest of scallops, pāua, and rock lobster, from the fisheries waters within 3 nautical miles of: Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island) L

now you're talking,still some die hards left .thank goodness,thought I was on my own🙃

a quick google and yep need to remove old ablative first, never trust a sales person https://www.wetandforget.co.nz/pages/warpaint-faqs Which antifoulings can WAR PAINT be applied over? The hard types present no problems, provided, of course, that the existing system is sound. A wet sand is necessary to prepare the surface for recoat – any defects must also be repaired as necessary. Existing antifoulings of the “soft” type should, in general, be removed. This is to prevent the possibility of the soft system from clearing or suffering cohesive failure beneath the harder, strong

A case for consumer affairs comes to mind,maybe go back to wetnforget and mention its a breach of the fair trading act,never know they may come to the party. nothing to loose, Its based on a sakes person saying that it compatiable. Verbal stands

Most of us do a sort of anchor watch, generally do a check of warp and position before retiring ,I wake up at least twice and do a general check, but as for 24/7 watch I still claim the intention is for commercial more than recreational. As most recreational are anchored in bays/harbours with other vessels, commercial more likely(when not fishing) may anchor in remote places . My last insurance policy quite clearly stated that insurance covered anchored providing it was not left for more than 24hr period unattended, unless on its usual mooring/marina.

Anchor watch,would your chart plotter with anchor drag app be on watch? Had a garmin thing a few ago,set to anchor watch and got up turned it as boat swung ,alarm would go off.

If you were anchored ahead and dragged down on to another vessel,you would be at fault in my mind,as you cant drag to windward.
