chippie 6 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Will you guys please,please, stop telling people what a beautiful place the Gulf is. If anyone asks me, I always say it's awful and they wouldn't like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim C 23 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 On Navionics at the right zoom, for boats coming South towards the Gulf, they are warned: It says 'Area to be Avoided'. So the riff raft coming in should stay away... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 108 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That is definitely an area to be avoided.... makes me want to just anchor there and wave people off. A bit of public service, giving back you might say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil 35 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Had a great weekend over at Te Kouma and back via Waiheke. Good sailing, good company, awesome. Poked our nose into Oneroa Sunday on our way back from the 'Mandel and have never seen it so busy. Rather than play bumper-boats in the night, we opted for around the corner in Owhanake instead.

philstar 61 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 there's only been one Americas Cup Trimaran, in 2010. What a great boat! But not so good for cruising... She's in raft up mode. the ama's / foils are hiding under the boat. You mean this one, I had a look at her a couple of weeks ago while in San Francisco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

El Toro 105 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Awesome photos I can see myself in 3 different bays, on 3 different days. And the first time in living memory Ive gone an entire weekend not rafted up to one other boat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes philstar I was intrigued to see Oracle still proudly on display at Redwood a few weeks ago! This weekend is equally good if not better - better sailing breeze and here in Onetangi we have about 8 boats right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 324 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 DJI_0425_preview.jpeg What sort of drone you use, Vorps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Blade 89 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 What sort of drone you use, Vorps? I have no idea what kind of drone it is - the pics were emailed to me from the guy in the little orange TS that was anchored inside us. Son #1 has just bought one the same and its being collected in next day or so , I'll let you know when it arrives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It was a DJI Spark, new full retail with controller around $1200ish, can be had cheaper if you use your phone as controller but you don't get the full range/altitude. Mathew picked one up sans controller for $400. I will have a play with it during the week and maybe start a drone thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
