YNZ has it as Beau,

There was something on TVNZ1 news the other night. I believe the cruiseship industry has been laid up for months and dry docks are full ,so they cannot get in for clean off. Good on bio NZ for making a stand though bit late for some invasive pests.

With all this bio security. Why arent MPI meeting ships at the 200 mile zone,fit seals on sea cocks etc so cannot discharge,be good traing for the navy rather sitting at the base.

Wondered where the mullets boats went too. Looks very flash https://www.sporty.co.nz/pcc/newsarticle/121484?newsfeedId=1535106

Just home from dinner in Ponsonby and a walk around Westhaven,very few cars and marina looks full compared to previous yrs. Sign of the times??people have to work rather than the standard 3 week cruise of yester year.

HaHa Yes I laugh,logged a trip report a few times and forgot to close off. C/G never made contact with me via cellphone,they have my details etc. I guess its not tlll you go missing a family member contacts them then action starts.

It is exactly the same as when the mooring debacle went on,moving from Okahu bay to Hobson. A few complained but no one said repair the break water .There lies the problem breakwater goes the mussels went and insurance companies saying rates going up if moor there. If the breakwater was repaired and eaterlies waves would of been reduced and possably yachts saved,but no,All sit their hands till it happens. By now you must realise the of boat ownership is viewed as a privilege and boaties must pay not the rate payer.

No matter which you look at it. It was going to close. As I mentioned earlier just going through the montions."see we did consult with the public" But everyone sat on hands till final minute.Tough you get what you desrerve closure.

obviously you didnt click the link. try concept 3 and theres a map,no hardstand no nothing. What we are proposing Growing demand from a range of users is putting pressure on The Landing. We are refreshing the 2013 Landing concept plan (Pathways to the Sea) to make it more accessible and welcoming to a wider range of users. We aim to cater for those seeking water-based recreation on the harbour, as well as those who prefer to enjoy Tāmaki Drive waterfront from the land. Concept 1: 2013 concept plan with minor changes Concept 2: Rationalisation Concept 3

run north with the easterlies,why slog to windward?

Got me thinking.A) must have licence to operate VHF B ) call sign. Now funny bit is I can walk to any marine shop and buy explosives,no licence,no idea how to use. Wonder MNZ will click to that problem??

werent crays dropped to 3 per day?kawau/waiheke/barrier basically extinct. Now instead of putting total ban like scallops we are happy to put pressure on other areas.. Incidently I brought 4 commercial crays from the shop,silly price to what was a bottle of beer back in the day $155 for 1kg . Only brought as work gave me $100 so didnt paying extra $55 as the wife/boys have never had crayfish before,tried poting yrs ago,lost 2 pots(dont put pots down near comms) and found door open twice,clever crays managed to untie.

I put the blame fair and square on reccreational fishers when we are talking 1 or 2 miles out from the coast. There has only been about 4 maybe 5 inshore trawlers working the gulf now. When I can out to the mussel farm and between 3 of us take 21 snapperin a hour between 35cm 55cm not hard to do the maths.Having said that we might fish once a month. and mostly shared amongst the elderly. We will get locked out to the 10 mile limit before long as per the RMA and council defined seabed limits. How many traler boats out today 2/3 thousand??

No, what you will find distressing is each individual council enfocring the RMA around every bit of coast you have access too.Waikato asked for responses on areas they would like to close.But now have full rein under the RMA act and can procced to do what they like. The first example of this was at MOTITI Island (rena wreck site)closed to all in the name of protection.

The original article by NRC included no Customary take but cannot be enforced without a act of parliament as IWI have the right under the treaty.

Can be used in emergency use only. Coastguard will ask you for a call sign

Brought 3 yachts value $10/$15 k and used my boat builder mate to check them out,no issue. Brought a 30ft $35k back in late 90s from a broker and bank loan involved.Had a qualified survetor and a sea trial,surveyor noticed vibration in shaft and when boat pulled out noticed loose prop shaft skeg,paid deposit until problem fixed and surveyor happy with repair. Then completed purchase. Surveyor back then was Jack Taylor.

intersting,but could of gone the other way as the surveyor was not a qualified surveyor. Not clear as to a private sale or broker?If private it would be .Buyer beware.

A vendor being a dealer has sign agreement with all the relative information.Private seller can write anything they like and if they dont repay the loan.The bank/finance company will seek and take vessel and you as purchaser get nil. And if a dodgey private seller grabs the money runs off never to be seen again?? If a private seller owes money do you really think that they will declare theres money owing too you??

Same as buying from a car dealer.turns to custard it's on them and you get your money back.They should of done the checks pre selling or offering for sale.

Thats the risk without a compulsory registration, their word no money owing. Even a trailered boat its the trailer only registered not the boat on the trailer. Buying through a broker guaranteed ownership of a unencumbered vessel and covered for defects under CGA How do you know the person selling is only owns 1/2 the vessel,partnership??

sunbusrt and sail at waikatere(narrow neck) devonport??

Was all layed out in 2013 now they have gone with option 3 closure just went through the motions to get the results
