Few boats removed from Putiki Bay , Waiheke by Harbourmaster the other week - a fraction of the number that should have gone but such a major logistically ....
-
I always have a bin (with a liner) for used bog paper ( as well as fresh water and vinegar last flush) - none goes through the Loo. Everything you can do to minimize potential blocking is worth it having endured a xmas day and a new years eve blockage to sort I do whatever I can to avoid blockages

The process to apply and get permission to lay one took me around 10 months - that was 4 years ago - not sure if that has changed since however there are limited spaces available and depending on your boat size that could be a limiting factor.

I have the Ultrasonic wind sensor - been pretty happy with it- compact and no moving parts...

Assume 888 is still out there drifting ? Am sure he will be hugely relieved to have got off.... great effort Navy and Trust Heli

Looks quite small but at that price you could have another as back up ...Thanks for the link -will look into them

Mine has died and no new ones coming in the country for quite a while.. The specs are 12v 7 psi just used to pump fuel from tank up 1 metre to holding tank - dont suppose anyone has one they arent using or something that could do the same job ?

It depends on what your tolerance is to a slightly bumpy anchorage - forecast is light E at the moment swinging to SE overnight then fluctuating between E and SE until Wednesday afternoon when it normally will swing to S . With those conditions it is doeable - not 100% ideal -if you do decide to anchor there make sure your pick is well dug in. Looking out there at the moment there are a couple of boats and it is mild. SE actually works ok there - just tuck up into the Little Oneroa end.....

My understanding is that a carbon filter will take out the chlorine in a shock dose but it will most likely end up needing to be replaced afterwards - small amounts are ok but not shock doses ....Tryiing to remember who told me that -was some marine outlet but can check on this....
-
chlorine destroys carbon filters pretty quickly - I wouldnt recommend using anything v low concentrations otherwise factor in writing off your carbon filters as part of that process and replace

Dont think Apartments are on the Agenda - from memory the other option besides keeping it as a hardstand was to convert it to a reserve /park

The Landing at Okahu Bay has a doubtful future depending the outcome of a recent survey and Council decision making

Cool Sailing Documentary from a Novice- Chasing Bubbles
1paulg replied to 1paulg's topic in MarineTalk
Yep - thats the one - he touched a few people's hearts -v sad that he passed away. I havent finished the full doco -intend to do that tonight -
This may be old news as it is old and I believe the guy (Alex) has since sadly passed away but just came across on you tube ' Chasing Bubbles - Documentary" sorry havent put the link but easy to search - the guy was so raw but totally infectious in his enthusiasm -I found it quite captivating - quite a long Doco....

Yep = this is a development that is long overdue.... as for Fullers preferred model - Ha ! Who wouldnt want to operate the most profitable route in Auckland and not have to own or maintain the ferries
