I scallop dive
Love my seafood but scallops/paua Hmm take them or leave not fussed. Yes will be having a conversation on Sunday morning with Legasea via phone,we seem to be getting in to arguments via f/b. Agree more of us reccs ,we need a reduction if we are serious on sustainability. Used a dredge a couple of time with a old fella and said the secret is the prongs to be of right angle to lift scallop and tow at a speed so not as to be anchored.He claimed shop brought wrong angle,people tow to fast and they bounce

Eastern Coromandel scallop rahui was only a few months too, now it's 2 years
Funny how they closed the area so quick,Rahui then total ban via MPI/Fisheries. Yet Waiheke has a Rahui no scallop/paua/crayfish(unenforceable voluntary)and MPI/Fisheries are still deciding.

No anchoring Tryphena to Blind bay now

Cats
in MarineTalk
When Dad went to live onboard in 1986,I gave him my cat ,it was about 12 months old. Settled in well,poo in anchor well seemed to of come naturally, Dad would take cat ashore and it run up and down beach, do its thing, no lead and would always return. Fell off the yacht numerous times and straight to his bunk. Think over the 10 or so yrs the cat developed issue(salt water madness)When moved ashore we took cat in and yep it was like horse off footrot flats.Didnt take crap from local cats/dogs lasted till 18yrs old.
The biggest complaint came from his friend who rafted up for the night.By all accounts the cat being a cat with something new.Ran around and kept owner awake.It was like it was wearing workboots on deck..Eventually threw cat onboard Dads and untied and anchored.

I think the Piedys are talking to Yachting NZ directly about a class dispensation for lifelines, as the safety they provide can more practically be achieved with harnesses, tethers and jackstays.
I think it would be awesome to have a fleet of Piedys sending it up each year. The bay will definitely know when they arrive!
From memory pidies that did PYBC 2 handed race had to have jack lines in place instead of life lines but that was cat 4.

I got that text too but we are all excited about our big outing. Been booked since pre lockdown and too lazy to change it.
If it is a drive in centre, be prepared for a sore arm for 2 days. I think its because you cant drop arm down to fully relax. Had it last Sunday and still felt it Tuesday night but bonus no flu symptoms

if it not coming via Youshop you may well be lucky and not be charged GST if it under $1,000 total (goods + freight), there seems to be some flexibility on this with customs. Let us know how you get on.
Yes you are right Marinheiro,just paid invoice and has a charge of NZ gst on it. Should arrive by Friday??No other charges.Who knows once it arrives in country though.
Saved $800 by going to Aussie for it.

We need to be logging our catch rates via some sort of app like comms do now,there is an app out from Fish4all,but advocacy groups firmly believe we do not need to file returns as the waste ffom cooms in unknown. What is unknown is what reccs actually take,yes niwa do occasional ramp surveys,mpi/fisheries check and measure occasionally but still we are a unknown quantity.
Customary rights is not just for Maori anyone can apply,but what I would like too see is,no undertaking of size limit or taking of banned species (toheroa) or taking from closed areas.

I think it total cost was around 60% of NZ prices, including shipping. This was a few years ago, so no GST.
Have some parts arriving shortly and my understanding under $1k no fees but maybe gst Before purchase went on to govt site that gave fee structure.

Have heat exchanger end caps off of my 3gm30f as one was leaking and now after the new O-rings and gaskets to get it back together.
Have found full gasket kits overseas but doesn't look like the come with the parts for the heat exchanger.
Any bearing shop will have "o" rings and just buy gasket material and cut out your own
Oil filters any repco/superchep have them and if you pay more than $20 tell them too #$%^ off Thats for under 20hp
Off topic but I approached Holden NZ for a price for a new ECU,$1500 + $150 mapping. Emailed a company in Melbourne $650 including mapping ,just need vin. Never buy off agents,most people to lazy to shop around and accept given price.

Maybe the rules have changed this time due to the nature of this virus being unknown compared to last time over cautious?? Maybe !
I see no difference checking a vessel to exercising in park. The only difference is not all live locally.

f pipis there, probably still is.
Up at the head there was a old house(1978) we went ashore to gather and this old lady come out and asked what we were doing.Told her. She took us to the house for a cuppa and hr later went back down. A comment was that we missed the tide. No you haven't ,now tide is coming in the pipis will walk ashore so no digging just pick them up. She was right.

Completely off topic but why is it named Administration Bay? There must be a story...
/Martin
one would presume it would named after the millitary camp/headquaters being situated there.But why would you set up a millitary camp facing out to sea towards the enemy when islington bayor home bay would ofer more protection.
Just guess.
What if...?
