Plus about another twenty reasons this is horseshit

Orakei.... most of it was a mill pond

I can confirm they can hold alot of supplies. Though I did hit 16.4 on way to Barrier last xmas.... warp speed, wife and in laws screaming...was highlight of my trip to be honest... sure beat the 14 hour motor back from the Mercs

You're hurting my feelings Bad Kitty....

Great thanks all

Thats a bit rich given how much they are worth.... not bad a for family owned business....

Very, Guessing that abandoned? He was my Great Uncle, Jeff Wray, his brother, was my Grandfather. But I found that out after he had died unfortunately.

When was the fire? This was berthed next to me start of last year for a while, I let some of the crew have a rummage around my supplies and gave them a stack of food,,,,,, the head placement is priceless

Where is it now?

Yep agree....was it def taking sand?

Need to ask the question even though I know the answer from looking at the photo... was it actually taking sand? or was it moving sand from one barge to another?

Mr Kite is a floppy 40 currently in Coffs Harbour after slight false start over weekend coming over ditch. Looking forward to her joining the 40s!

You suck by the way!

See its comments like that which force me to not play with you anymore Bad Kitty......

Am starting to think about the winter program for my barge. (No smart arse comments from you please Bad Kitty...) I carry about 350lt of diesel in my two tanks. The question is, at what level should I keep the tanks at over winter? Ive always kept them about 95% full over the winter months, but am interested to hear other peoples thoughts on the best level for over winter. Cheers

My ole man owned Kahurangi for about 20 years. Came home one day in the 80s and said they had this wonderful suitcase sized thing that could pin point you position to within 400m twice day! She was wrecked in the Caribbean and the late John Olsen restored her I believe. He said every town they pulled in to would welcome them with open arms, marveling at her beautiful lines, and constant guitar playing. I believe she is on the hard somewhere in the Med. John thought about bringing her home, but also owned Okere so elected to leave it in the north

Raz88, yes def noticed the change, believe it is the parore that eat parts of the worm casing, but were gobbled up by the apex predator that has no place in a marina

ER hit a rock but was professionally rebuilt. Id have no concerns over her keel structure if I was looking at her.

ER has been rebuilt to top standard. Woody knows what hes doing

Crap seastate is no place for a 10.5. They made the right call

Long shot, but anyone heading to Tapakanga this weekend? Be careful on that beach, its a nightmare... plan your day night to leave on high tide
