Really best to just walk around your neighborhood and join a Golf club, because that's all that will be left before long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as I mentioned, infrastructure is unsexy and tax cuts are very sexy! Very much That's interesting Psyche, I've been told a similar number (again, by those who should know). Really starting to wonder how we get out of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarpeDiem 430 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Just got lifted and cleaned at the Floating Dock, the operator said the water is in the worst state he has seen it in the 5+ years he has been operating the dock. At the end of each day he is going home itching and scratching which has never happened to him before. SALT divers were supposed be cleaning 40+ boats at Westhaven today, but they aren't getting in the water, they have set up shop at Izzy for those that need a clean before Coastal. With the harbour being tested everyday at multiple locations and different depths, it will be interesting to see how long a gazillion liters of black and grey water takes to flush out of the Waitematā...

waikiore 399 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I still believe that multiple locations are being modelled, as opposed to tested-havent seen the summer helicopters yet! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 633 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 There's theory and practice, spoke to a few people who raced on Saturday and coming back home from the gulf; the harbour has a definite stink to it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be correct. The modeling has been in place for many years. It was, several years ago tested and independently verified at being around 90% accurate. Watercare have stated that they are doing tests from multiple locations at multiple depths and they have also deployed bags of oysters that will be tested for comtaniments and heavy metals. Point is that they are testing... I have noticed on the safetoswim site that mission bay/st heliers has been switching from safe to unsafe frequently during this sh*t storm.

waikiore 399 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yes they always have after a big rain period, when they let it out the old Orakei line, probably safer there over the last two weeks whilst blocked as most was being diverted to Beaumont street new outlet and the other new one west of the harbour bridge.

A little hard to believe the modelling is tested under these circumstances. I imagine they are testing as well but it's unclear what is a modelling result and what is a testing result, in terms of what is available publicly at least. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's obviously the modeling and testing coming in to play at these sites. Cause a week ago everything was black all day long. Right now Mission Bay is safe. And Kohi/St Helliers are getting safer. With Kohi and St Helliers marked as Safe from 5pm today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify, you can swim at Mission Bay, and will be able to swim at Kohi and St Helliers in 40 mins (5pm), but is yacht racing (where you don't put your head underwater) still cancelled?

Psyche 633 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yacht racing is pretty much not happening in the harbour this week, except for the coastal start. It would make sense that Mission Bay cleans up earlier since the bulk of the flow is in the Beaumont Street and the Wynyard Quarter area 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 OK, so can we go yacht racing at Ponsonby, Richmond, or Squadron yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
