  1. Aratere

     

    That is a photoshop pic  - The newspaper article at the time said it was an artist impression of the actual 50 deg. roll.

     

    The Aratere had to stear an  unfavorable angle in the heavy southerly, to clear Cape Terawhiti  on a course to the northern entrance to the sounds -  There were no off board cameras near the roll area. 

     

    With shifted cargo and still listing they had to keep heading north until almost Kapiti Island  untill it was safe to turn and head back south.

  2. Ive found White Rock is a great place to be in a NW screamer, Really good holding but windy anchorage  on the right hand side of the white rock.

     

    Spent a few nights there many a time after a hard NW reach down the coast.  Never dragged  even in 50  gusting 70 ish and  1 metre wind "Chop" coming off the beach.  - Danforth 10 mtr chain and warp 

     

    There was a 1 meter wind  chop only cause we had to anchor a long way out so we wouldnt get dumped on the beach by the 3 mtr southerly swell that had picked up. The southerly did arrive next day which gave an nice sail to Wellington

     

     

    Good Fun
