B00B00 329 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Doubled up mine and checked all the boats on moorings around me. Lucky I did as a couple had issues which would have caused trouble. One boat had its stern bridal line wrapped twice around the rudder and that would have been the windward line. Was a bloody mission to sort out but better than having them break free and take us out. Think its going to be blowing 50+kts straight down the Weiti river in the wee hours of the night, could get interesting. Blokarting mission on the west coast tomorrow! Yeehaa. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zozza 351 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Gulf Harbour quite well protected from the northerlies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,767 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Just cleared the deck and checked the lines. An interesting one I discovered is to centre the boom(s). They are normally off centre to get more sun on the panels but at around 30kn they do make the boat misbehave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 114 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Kerikeri inlet, well protected from the NW yet 2 chairs just got blown off the deck, which is why I'm awake . I see BOI nowcasting says peak 70, average 60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terry B 73 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Went to Westhaven friday arvo to check lines etc. 3 yachts (not launches) on our pier were loading up to head out for the weekend!! I asked one guy if he had checked the forecast......"yea, don't think it'll be much" was his reply.🥴 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

straycat 7 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Metservice did not raise wind forecast till Very late. All week they mentioned 15 knots. In fact this has been the case for about a month. We saw a few boaties fueling up yesterday 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,767 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Was on a Skype call with daughter ( Stanmore bay) half an hour ago when a tree fell on her house. They're out there now trying to clear it and move the debris away from the windows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 483 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Agree re Metservice this week, we had a lovely night race to kawau though, and return race yesterday with Squadron weekend party shifted back to the club, unanimous support for that call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
