Megwyn 2 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Forecast looks interesting apparently lack of wind wont be a problem Was wondering what the word was on the forecast. The longrange I have looked at showed a strong southerly . . . Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Looks better today, the low is slipping further east, was showing 50 knots and 8 meter swells. Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm over sailing upwind in 50 kts for a while Is that part ship a problem ? Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm over sailing upwind in 50 kts for a while Is that part ship a problem ? The Rena hasn't been a problem so far and we have been thrashing round in the Bay for quite a few months now, I did see some debris after the back half sunk coming home from the Christmas cruise but the containers seem to either wash up or sink pretty quickly, hopefully the remaining ones stay where they are.

Megwyn 2 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 We see the odd bit of flotsom while we are out there. Mostly just polystyrene from Rena now. Although last weekend we saw a sheet of ply or cardboard in the water. There was some twine - like 1000m rolls a few weeks back. Last weekend we had a close encounter with what looked like a punga log just off the bar. Almost totally submerged, and about 4m long. But no more big stuff lately from Rena. Did you see anything out there Danaide when you were sailing the last leg home? M Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Didn't see anything in the BOP but we were 60-80nm out from the Rena,but did catch 4 albacore Did see a large bundle of nylon rope just south of Kidnappers though and also lots of logs and debris between Napier and East Cape due to the flooding. Does that help ? Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've contacted the organising heirachy to find out the no.s, also trying to get it on the website live. Any update on this? Looks like the forecast isn't that flash again, is it likely that the start would be delayed if the weather was sh*t (45 knots and 7 meter swells) or would they just cancel?

ballystick 73 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The weather forecast on most websites - Metvuw etc. - have been wildly variable in their predictions, I haven't seen it like that before. I suppose it depends where the low comes down to. But, as Willow says there looks to be wind a plenty. The boat entry list is on the website under the Akld to Tga news banner. Not a lot of boats as yet, but normally the late entries aren't charged the late fee and usually there's a few of those depending on the weather. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for that, quite a few entrants considering the forecast, lets hope it moderates somewhat. Good to see the sly old seadogs on Open Country have entered Link to post Share on other sites
