Launch sunk at Oneroa


Recommended Posts

must have been a bad day in Oneroa,  we left there about 4pm and had to rescue an upside down 15ft tinny just by the entrance, was being towed by a small fizz boat that was struggling, so we hooked a halyard onto it,  anchored so we faced the breeze and then hoisted it the right way up.  previous occupants looked shell shocked!

Lots of pan pans yesterday. Boat swamped at Motuihe, and a dinghy flipped near Karaka Bay with the fisherman rescued by a jetski.

 

Not terribly surprised. Could have been a bit nasty at times, but the forecast wasn't so bad that people stayed ashore.

Think we passed the IT heading for Gulf Harbour, we were heading for Rangi light next to a Piedy who was ripping into Milford under kite.

Yep, quite likely. Quite a few boats heading down to Auck when we came home. Nice breeze :-)

We saw 3 Coastguard vessels heading out one behind the other on the same day & around the same time as posted above. One turned back shortly after so I am guessing it was the same boat as this one in distress poor people!
