  1. That would be even more embarrassing, the guy with all the gold braid and fancy dress (can't remember his official title, something like supreme rear commodore sea lord) said that Manawanui had just completed a 'maintenance period' before this deployment, AND passed all of their testing before being signed off...
  2. They were still using lead lines on the last survey boat. They even make one of the ratings taste the mud. Apparently silt tastes more bitter than sand or regular mud.
  3. not sure if percussion hydrography was in the design spec's... They stated they 'evacuated 75 crew and passengers'. Didn't realise NZ defense assets took passengers. Saturday night, more people onboard than bunks, carrying passengers, yet they say they were working. Several things don't add up. Core crew is 30 something. Not 75.
  4. Think you need to go through your post and change the present tense for the past tense 'Can' should now be 'Could' or 'Did'
  5. Just had a suss on Streetview, and it appears the view is already locked by trees. Same trees you can see in the aerial photo. Happy to be proven wrong though. 1 Princes St - Google Maps
  6. Wonder how they'll make that work if its a northerly?
  7. Oh dear, my computer is definitely saying 'no' then. Just a long two lines of text that looks like a broken url.
  8. The link isn't working for me. Is it a map of the exclusion zone?
  9. The BYOB was for 2 days, where as the grandstand is for 1 day. Would have been $628 BYOB for the family, $750 to take the family for one day. Kids are more interested in watching it on TV and me putting that cash into their bank accounts... Especially since they are getting their heads around compounding interest. Disappointed the sub 49fter sold out so fast. Logged on about 3pm and it was gone (once I worked out how to get the website to go). Anyone know if / how you can watch the practice day? We are keen to see these boats in person doing their stuff, doesn't have to be racin
  10. It is a way of gaging interest, so they can work out how much to rheem you for on the pricing...
  11. Do you guys want to get compensated every time there is a road closure somewhere as well?
  12. Presales open on Monday. But yes, you need to buy a ticket to "Bring your own boat"... Or there is the waterfront grandstand and the waterfront premium. In saying that, I am just a pleb, so the presales I'm signed up to may not be the presales for important people / high net worth individuals etc. It is possible all the boat tickets have already gone to corporate hospo and high net worth types.
  13. If it is against the laws of physics, how come the OP's charge controller is doing it?
  14. Christ you can be argumentative. And splitting hairs. It is normal for a controller to call for 14.4v in the bulk phase. Weather or not the circuit achieves that voltage is entirely dependent on the battery. BUT THE CONTROLLER CALLS FOR 14.4v. In this thread we have no idea about the battery at all. That doesn't mean what I am saying is misleading. It means we have no idea about the battery. You can split as many hairs as you want, my point was simply that the OP thought it was a problem that the controller goes to 14.4v, as far as I can tell that is doing what it is supposed to do.
  15. In the context of this thread, I'm not really sure what is misleading about it. It's not like I've said vaccines are safe and effective, or anything that could be genuinely misleading. So I may have mixed up some of the finer points of what the current does, I don't think I have, but the main point is the OP thinks there is a problem with his charge controller going to 14.4v. I can't see a problem with that and understand that is what it's supposed to do in the bulk charge phase. Moreso, many charge controllers and smart alternator regulators go directly to the bulk charge voltage at the
