Sell the boat before returning or register offshore once off shore??

I still wonder what the powers to be would do if you said nothing and aimed for the barrier and kept on going? Might be difficult landing at next stop. If MNZ were serious then they should have the powers to stop any vessel that arrives here from leaving without cat 1,we still send out snr to them

need cat1 inspection.for overseas departure. I personally believe should be able to sign a waiver.That you will take all resonable steps for your safety and expect no search n rescue should it go tits up ,but no the powers to be want cat1 etc Wasnt there when columbus/cook etc went circumnavigating why do they think a lot has changed??same water same risks

nz registered vessel??

from 2013 concept 3 shows total closure https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/the-landing

I personally would say forgone conclusion that it will close. Just going through formal motions of appeals.Bit like the ramp/apartments at Bayswater. Bayswater has been before the appeals board,now been modified with no further discussion for the public.

They tried sack of salt but too costly.

Any reflection on "dalton" taking away the cup?? No more limelight,city of sails thing.

It will only be a mater of time before club haul outs are gone due to compliance costs. Devonport/pybc/northcote point/Bucks etc

Mrs A better have the video rolling when you go up.Hmm coming down can faster than you think. A few yrs ago now we had a kite jammed at the top.Yep hoisted up ,no problem,decent yes well when you have a crew you have had a couple and let go of the halyard.Trust me its a quick decent in the dark.

Vessel hull cleaning Not permitted in the Marina, except by a registered diver who is only permitted to remove a thin layer of slime https://www.westhaven.co.nz/media/hwmb2f0j/westhaven-a-z-2021-pages.pdf Guessing thats means no removing fanworm/barnicles etc

seems to becoming to an end dive for hull cleans in marinas? does that mean need to take diver out for the day ?

Like most big clubs.social rather than sailing.

All you need to do is look at T/M with silly questions for a raven 26 or simular. Does it have a shower/hot n cold water etc. Think these are the ones who really want a caravan but dont want to use caravan parks My 26ft had a shower.Solar shower in the cockpit,hot water ,if you boiled the jug

Waikeraka park 10.30pm curfew Western springs limited meetings .What I want to know is when is that dam zoo going to close??You know lions might roar at 10.00pm. Bugger me all this was there before houses and those that were there went to these places.Now the people see the value of them and move in and want things gone. St Marys bay prime example,nothing there except bailys shed ,marine shop and a fuel jetty,occasionlly one of Drommies ferries might of been on the slip. pre 1985. Out way by the Karaka horse sale yards they have built a bloody "Hilton hotel" bugger me its Pa

Theres a bit of history of the hardstand. Now what was established first.The hardstand or parasite dr?? https://waitematawoodys.com/2019/01/02/orakei-hard-stand/ The probate date is somewhere in the 1920>30’s. The 2nd photo shows a magnificent collection of rear ends KEN RICKETTS on January 2, 2019 at 9:51 am said: Okahu Bay hard stand was not established until c1945-46, & was created from mud pumped from the surrounding seabed. — I recall seeing this in progress c1945-46, & this image, had to have been taken, almost certainly, i

Joys of boat ownership. hence why the trailer boat market is buoyant compared to moored. Being treated as elitist.

The Okahu bay Marae want to restore the foreshore back to its natural state.Hence the mussel dumping thats been going on.Restoring or trying to restore what was there before europeans arrived,mussel beds/cockle beds. Moorings been removed etc. Was there not talk awhile back that the RAYC might have to move??

All the farms around western side of Coromandel have no effects on anchorage access.Think they need to be in tidal flows Be interesting to know what the water quality was like in the Firth 80/90 yrs ago. Oyster farms in certain bays limit anchorage due to the shallow water or even drie out.

Whats wrong with mussel farms??They filter up to 350lt a day per mussel. Provide a haven for fish.The mussel industry are providing,maybe a cheap rate for mussels to be dumped around the gulf to help revive the gulf.

With warm waters,more shipping. this is always going to happen. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/130495180/new-discovery-of-an-invasive-seaweed-found-in-pristine-dusky-sound?fbclid=IwAR3hr-oAxv5bGgHySqO-rWvlqz_WITAm3t6DV7hadOsADGr-b34pLJR_PCc

fair enough, now no vessel can leave the viaduct without permission. But you leave Westhaven with fan worm and cruise the gulf except northland. So why not put in place same rules? OH that's right they cant due to Westhaven pontoons being infested with the worm and great cost to eradicate.
