  2. I know these people, met them in Mexico years ago. Boat will take you anywhere https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/4548707297
  3. A few options https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/4541277385
  4. Also did whangrei to Brisbane a while back. Just sailed due north till it warmed up then turned left.
  5. Did August to November a few years back, no problem at all. Exactly as you described.
  6. Maybe just one more example of a much wider decline.?
  7. I lived with that for 8 yrs, good stove.
  8. Called Agua Mala (bad water) in Mexico. Can't see them but itchy little buggers. A function of warmer water?

    Summer

    It's a skyhook. Used to lift the boat for cleaning in remote places.
  10. No, but you made me Google waterside venom.
  11. Are you guys tlking racing or cruising? For a trip on the coast i have a quick look at the forecast (up to 1 minute) and if there's nothing nasty i go sailing.

  15. I would consider wearing a helmet really stupid. I wasn't kidding about the step ladder. And my wife would never sail with me again.
  16. IMHO Platino was human error, totally.
  17. Ifi were buying a new cruising boat a traveler outside the cockpit would be one of my tickboxes.
  18. We're in Matamata getting ready for our visit to Hobbiton. I have camo gear and a crossbow, am I missing anything?
  19. I also think there is an over emphasis on equipment and not enough emphasis on skills and practice/experience. And attitude.
  20. I have a line fixed to the outboard end of the boom running to the gooseneck. I can attach a preventer either side without dangling off the end of the boom.
  21. That was cool. Even had good music.
