Y88 5241 25 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Is there any where around Waiheke, particularly the bottom end you can fill up with water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The big T 41 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Orapiu Wharf always had good water through a hose especially for boaties - installed I think through Half Moon Bay Maritime Trust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 386 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yes second Orapiu Wharf Slack tide is best and easiest if you send someone in first in the dink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 157 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Keep an eye on launch and ferry wakes at Orapiu, I have seen two vessels heaved against the piles, the damage was nasty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Y88 5241 25 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks guys filled up at Orapiu, was a bit of fun getting along side but not to bad, then headed for the fresh Rose’ a couple bays down! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dutyfree 170 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Trapped myself on Orapui filling up about 10 years ago. Tide pinned me to the wharf, never been back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tide pinned me to the wharf, never been back Luckily the tide was pulling me off but dead slack low tide, plenty of shellfish etc makes it interesting.

I asked about that in January this year - the response from the marina manager was that they didn’t have potable water available yet - it was on the ‘to do list’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 61 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 wasnt there when we visited in Feb but was close, what was more surprising was no fuel, could not get resource consent, that is a lot of boats that have to travel for fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
