Zozza 351 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We're on gusts of 50 here now Tried to PM you but says you can not receive mail? Would you mind having a peek at Webb's boat just off the marina breakwater on a mooring. Pic attached (from a couple months ago). 24 footer, grey hulled flush decked. I am sure he would be stoked to get a message advising "all is well". He is due in NZ later next week. Cheers mate Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I can't quite see it from where I am (I remember seeing it looking ok yesterday so I know the boat) and I'm not getting in my dinghy right now but I'll check onit tomorrow morning when I go out to check on David's Black Panther. Not sure why I can't receive PMs? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why I can't receive PMs? Cheers Good man. I wouldn't expect you to be getting in a dinghy right now in that weather either! Not sure about the pm's, just said you can't receive mail, so I assume your box is full? Cheers mate. Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yup just had 70 here - the boat has got a permanent 5' heel on - it's hard to eat my curry! Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 351 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yup just had 70 here - the boat has got a permanent 5' heel on - it's hard to eat my curry! I have told Webb to expect an email from you tomorrow morning. 70 knots, fair dinkum. I guess that is peak gusts right, and not sustained? Judging by the url on your profile, do I tell him it will be "Robb" that he might get an email from? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yes it's due to swing SE -> S -> SW but it continues to stay cider to SE where I am. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Some frighteningly noisy gusts even here in the marina - I've had to turn Top Gear up to max volume to hear it. Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 but it continues to stay cider to SE where I am.That's some curry you must have had Rob! Reckon we have'nt seen a gust over 25 here yet - the tamaki now cast, the Bucks anemometer on windsurf and the glendowie one on metservice all still reading low Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,765 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Was out all night (sold a couple of houses ) and probably glad I wasn't reading some of those reports. Auckland seemed quiet to me, and very little traffic around. Hope the worst is over and I still have a boat. How bad is it not be near your boat???? Link to post Share on other sites
