Kick Ass

Good to hear Graeme is still doing it after the changes, he did our last cert. Will give him a call, was great to deal with last time.

Was thinking of giving you a call Jon. Would you come up to the Weiti Boating club or not your area?

We are planning on it but still trying to get sorted with Cat 3.

Or not 🤣

Unfortunately it is full of boats that hardly get used or never leave their moorings......

So far we have had a few showers of rain on Friday and cleared by about 1pm. Had a nice sail over to Waiheke yesterday and have had no more than 10knots of wind in our bay. Today has been perfect nice sunny day 👍.

Will be interesting to see how she goes, think she might be a canting version.

Anyone know how we get to see handicaps before the start on Friday?

Can anyone guide me in the direction where I could find some of these replacement hinges? They are off the fridge door but unfortunately have seen better days.

New channel markers are on their job list.

Is there anyone on here that could help with the diameter of the crank on a yanmar 3gm30f for the front and rear man seals? Am wanting to get some speedy sleeves to fixe oil leaks but need the diameter to order the correct sleeves? Any help would be appreciated

Further up the river by the old Stevies yard 15knots was clocked on the speedo, big rooster tail coming off their rudders. Unfortunately a big piling barge dragged and struck their pole damaging it then impact into their hull leaving a big crack and marks all down one side before dissapearing off to stillwater where it struck some more boats before it was secured! Spent the morning rescuing 2 boats from broken piles... Mother nature can be bloody brutal!

With the forecasted rain and wind it wasn't worth us staying out with young kids onboard! So we have just made the trip back from Te Kouma to Gulf Harbour in 3 hours 40 minutes, was pretty wild out there but thankfully we were going with the wind! Top speed of 14knots and average of almost 9knots, boat felt like a heavy tug boat as we were provisioned for another 10days on the water. We may head out again for a few days if this weather clears up!

Managed to dispose in the township 👍

Have Been told there is a rubbish Barge but where is it located? Or where is the best place to dispose rubbish?
