wheels 543 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Local Notice to MarinersNotice: 05 - 14 Navigational Hazard Waitemata Harbour The Harbourmaster’s Office has a report of a navigational hazard west of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in the position Latitude 36 50.225S Longitude 174 41.014E. The hazard is a yacht which sunk on Sunday 23 February 2014 and is marked with a mooring type buoy. All mariners are advised to navigate with caution when transiting through this area. So you don't have to go looking at the chart (unless you are transiting the area of course, then look, definitely look), it's about bang smack in the middle between the two Peninsula's of Kauri Point (around from sugar fact.) and the Peninsula on the other side. Ummm, isn't there a reef there??? Link to post Share on other sites

Infinity 1 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sure you read that right Wheels. It's mid way between TeAtatu Peninsula and the end of Meola Reef. Link to post Share on other sites

tuffyluffy 76 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ditto. It is pretty shallow mudflat through there though. Link to post Share on other sites
ab1974 1 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks Wheels. No plans to be playing in that area anytime soon! Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sure you read that right Wheels. It's mid way between TeAtatu Peninsula and the end of Meola Reef. Hmmm, that's interesting. I deleted the Email I received, so can't double check. Very kindly sent to me by Shanson. But as I am Dyslexic, yeah maybe I looked at it the wrong way up, I dunno. Anyway, I just looked at the Dot they had on the Map and to me, it was between where I had said. I checked the Lat/Long on my GPS and yeah sure enough, right where you guys said. Now the really interesting thing is that I thought I would go to the Harbor Masters Website and check the Notice to Mariners Weekly update. Nothing on it in regards to the Sunken yacht. How strange. I thought that would be up to date. Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 44 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wasn't there a trailer sailor went down there Sunday last week? Link to post Share on other sites
