NZ is in reality a low wage economy that would do well with copying the Greek way, just need a couple of million Greeks.
Wouldn’t be waxing to lyrical about things economic and Greeks.
Sure things are going to get tight here but in Greece it’s been bad for a long time and will be even worse now.
However as BP eludes to re-eating in here in Poncenby a beer is $11.00 and a splash of wine is $13.00 so tend to eat in rather than pay that extortionate price before you have even got to the menu.
Re cruising with guests and following a culinary trail our preferred choice is to eat bloody well aboard at all times .

Actually it's not. He was invited here for the festival, that is correct. When he got here there was a wee whoha about it at which time he specifically said 'I'm here for the festival then leaving as per my visitors visa'. His sponsor, the Greens, swore black and blue he was he for the festival only and it was not an attempt to sneak in the back door or short cut any procress.
At the time a LOT of people called that bullshit, the greens are full of sh*t and lieing, most wise money said Gloria Wokie the green women was full of it just like writer dude. The greens and their pastys plus the dude deigned that vehemently.
Yet here we are and so is he.
The humanity or whatever aside, the greens lied, he lied and now NZ is stuck with him for better or worse.
What the Fark are you on next time you are seeking refugee status for being severely disconnected to reality I wish you all the best.
KM your endless bombastic belligerent bullshit really has dived to the pearly depths of idiocy.

yeah like this guy who lied thru his teeth to get a visitors visa and now we are stuck with him
What a complete and utter falsehood.
Behrouz was invited to come here for a writers festival and made a fully legal and compliant application for refugee status after enduring six years of our Aussie neighbours abominable inhumane refugee policies.
Hang your head in shame with Armchair where’s your humanity.

This looks pretty good as well as the pt11. Plans are 80 euros.... http://www.metzboats.de/htm/designs/dinghies/mebo12/mb12.htm
Amateur build time for the PT11 400hrs kit cost $4500 just doesn’t make sense.

Anyone know the situation at HMB? We are due to haul out there, and while I am sure they will squirt the boat down in the slings, I am guessing there will be no hose use once in cradle?
Don’t fret it has been raining everyday for a while so you get a fresh water rinse for free.

Used to have one of those when I was a kid. They were riveted together, and after many years of being trashed, it leaked pretty badly thru the rivets. To use one as a tender, you'd want to have some pretty good gunnel fenders, and have to have a careful think about how to get aboard without trashing the mother ship. The alloy can leave nasty marks, dents and scrapes. But, on the other hand, they are light and tough

Those Townsons are works of art.
But I am thinking something a little more "workboat".
Doesn’t come any more utilitarian than the Parkercraft tinnie.
Most probably now highly collectible. -

Mystic Lass on trade me looks a cracker and the cockpit works a hell of a lot better than the 1280.

Hi,
Need a waterlock for my 20HP diesel engine, and I' found the Windward NZ made is 1/3 of the cost of the Vetus that is the one i've used before. Anyone had any experience with the Windward waterlock ?Thanks
OscarBuy Kiwi made save quite a bit of coin and the Windward are a robust product that works.

I should add that my view in my previous posts in based on what I think will happen, not what I believe should happen.
And this will sound very cold, but with massive numbers of people wanting to get into NZ, a global recession and massive govt spending and debt, I do think it is legitimate to effectively choose who we let in based on how much cash / wealth they can bring with them.
I do think there is a legitimate reason for the cruisers to come here and be let in, especially this first cyclone season, being that people have made plans to cross the Pacific by a certain date, and need to be able to complete that. I just don't think the govt will do it.
I think there are legal ways to manage entry. Visa's granted for people travelling by small boat, that are already at (or apply from) a Pacific nation. This would be on a case by case basis. The paper work (and applications fees) will weed out the people doing it for convenience, and those that really need to. And do what Noumea(?) does. Require a one way air ticket out, for all arrivals by boat (or basically a bond to the govt), so there is no excuse they wont leave next winter.

One would have to factor in profiteering and value for money with the discrepancy in military budgets between the USA and China.
Each one of these B-2 Spirits cost US $2 billion they brought 20 how much would it cost to manufacture in China.
In regards to the fishing China runs a foreign policy that focuses primarily on securing access to protein wether or not it is sourced legally or sustainably and not just fish.

Sadly for Scott the road to any form of justice has long been paved with layer after layer of falsehoods and will forever stretch its arc of prejudice and harm well over the horizon of his time.
This travesty of injustice continues and including his sister by innuendo not fact in this foul legal nightmare sums up the establishments firm commitment to never admit wrong in this and many other contentious legal cases.
A plague on all their houses I say.

No engine haha, now is has an outboard! Anyway its a work of art but almost an affectation in the sense it has all the style cues of what a proper boat should have. Larry built a solid boat, all 8 tons of it before stores!
Spent some time aboard Taliesin and the most unnerving thing was the distinct lack of any cockpit just a wide coaming and very exposed.
