Ex Machina

8.5 litre class ?

I have surfed nearby at great exhibition bay and north side of Nth Cape . Did the crown prosecutors bother sending someone out there during a swell to see what the wave behaviour is and where it breaks ? The chart shows a possible good big wave break there so I hunted for some pics and found these. Swell is less than 1M by my reckoning . I’ve not experienced a rogue wave but definitely rogue “sets” of waves one is always bigger and usually the 2nd or 3rd in a 3-4 wave set .

Fervently hoping one or more inspectors stay on in northland for raceboat inspections , hell any of the regions outside of Auckland for that matter .

Do they ever use air freight for the boats ? Queenstown would be a stunning spot if they can get the circus there on budget

Manakau harbour with the finish line at Mangere bridge/Onehunga wharf . No dolphins or ferries or even muppets on the water . Might need some dredging though

sh*t ! No more telly on watch

I assume you saw this ?

Same , very happy with it .

What loo do you have ? I’m relieved we aren’t the only freaks out there with a composter 😂

Get two and paint em black .

Was that formerly Unitec , 8.5 ?

Ironically that’s probably where the bad fuel came from …might be a rort 😂

triangulating the wind between your ears and your nose is pretty cheap

Yes for gennakers they are a mare when they go wrong . It cannot be unclustered on the boat usually .

I can understand the locals who don’t rely on Auckland boats for a livelihood getting atagonistic and they are probably a majority . Your summer cruising plans being curtailed probably have as much importance to them as a new motorway connection in dannevirke . I mean did you give a fig about surf tours plan the young bloke had who parked his IACC boat on your local reef ? From what I read were way more concerned about your reef , sounds like you spoke to the media about it too . And that’s fine I would be more concerned about my neighbourhood reef as well .
