John B 113 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I got a whole lot of exercise putting on extra lines, springs and fenders. Might deserve a rum after all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I was just listening to the radio (1700 today) and the forecast was for Storm force winds of 60 - 70 knots in Auckland, plagues, pestilence (whatever that actually is) and general death and mayhem. I think they are broadcasting this here so it makes those in the BOP actually getting the thrashing feel like its not just them. Heres Windguru's take on what's happening for Tiri tomorrow, looking good for a nice reach to Tekouma tomorrow. Who else is heading that way?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
