The current forecast for Whenuapai (Hobsonville Marina/Herald Island/Upper Harbour) doesn't look too bad:
Issued as 1112NZST.
Forecasting 230 20 gusting 30kts then from 1700 300 15 gusting 25kts dropping to 300 at 05kts around midnight.
That's because the council doesn't actually want you to know the policy. All the council wants if you to say "Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. Won't happen again, sir..." to the clipboard-weilding council jobsworth.
First trip out after putting the boat in the water, left a bit late after sorting out some last minute gremlins. Did a loop from Hobsonville around Motuihe and back again. Couple of 'oh bugger" moments and there's a few things to sort but all in all, a great sail; got back tired sore and happy at 2230 : )
