Tomorrow weather


Recommended Posts

Disturbingly this thing was spotted in our mooring area the other day and reported to the HM office, hopefully they can do something about it quick. The bow fairlead has broken off and the top rope is being sawed through by the forestay and gunwale. Its down to 1 1/2 bit of the 3 strand rope and its directly upwind of us in a W breeze, hopefully it stays attached.

Is it time to double up the mooring lines?4

Did you double your lines BP?

Might get noisy tonight with the wind forecast...

 

Some good thunderclaps here in Whangaparaoa, one was close and load enough for my 3 year old to decide he was scared  :cry: - luckily the 5 year old thinks they are exciting :-)

83 gusting 115 when I looked just now, from 291.

Hope it stays out west...

 

83 sustained is mildly traumatizing.

 

Note the elevation there is 244 m though, so up high on a headland.

Wow, that is going to spring clean out of the Mooring fields.
Did I mention it's freakin freezing down here? OK, it isn't as cold as a mid winter blast, but having gone from mid 20's to, as the Met service says, "feels like 4", is a shock to the system.
