wal 27 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 If I don't go down to the mountain I might have to find a ride out to see them go past Bream Head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 So 1 day forecasts are 1% accurate? No thinking 9 days 20% 5 days 50% Today nowcasting 99% accurate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,586 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Kind of an inverse square law. Got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not keen on two on the wind Coastals in a row Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That current windy prediction is going to produce a real tactical battle.How far can you get before it gets light? How far can you get once it's gone light (if you stay in? or if you go a little wider?) How far out do you want to be when it changes to N? (obviously around the corner but few will be there...)

ex Elly 197 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If its a slow race the time limit may have some effect. NOR states 1400, SIs say 1500. Wonder which it is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 From the sailing instructions: 18.0 WESTHAVEN MARINA PARKING OVER LABOUR WEEKEND 18.1 Westhaven Marina is appealing for your support during this period of construction around the marina. Since the visitor carpark will be not be sufficient this year, crew will need to share or use alternative transport options. Over Labour Weekend there will be infringements issued and in some cases towing. Where will we park our cars? Point Erin pools maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Are they saying that crew can't park in the white spaces on Friday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I've run google translate over the SI's, set for special Punuku BS settings, What they are saying is they want you to take the bus... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I've run google translate over the SI's, set for special Punuku BS settings, What they are saying is they want you to take the bus... or a Lime scooter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 or a Lime scooter. Hah,yes. Silly me, I'd forgotten about those as an option. My life insurance policy specifically excludes them, hence I could only think of the very old school and sooo last century option of the bus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just get a taxi, it's what I'll be doing and you don't run the risk of some scumbag breaking into your car. Plus you can drink as much rum as you like in the delivery home as you are getting a taxi ???????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wal 27 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Really? I don't see anything like that on Metvuw, Aussie BoM long range. We're in to the start of a small high pressure system? Will keep watch all week. Have to find a decent sized motor/fizz nasty boat to shoot out and watch them go by Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RainbowChaser 0 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Don't forget ... if you can't be on the water in reality, you can always race a virtual 60ft trimaran with Sailonline - still free to play with realistic/real-time winds from NOAA!!

The forecast is shaping up to be a cracker, and I really wish I could be there for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yes forecast looking good, starting to think I should have gone this year. Still to much work needed on other boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Wouldnt it be great to see a fly by from ETNZ as they did about three years ago before the start? Perhaps a little early in the learning to control cycle.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 68 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Forecast for the start looks fabulous, from a spectator's perspective anyhow. I expect a viewing position on torpedo bay wharf will be entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
