Dumb question but needs to be asked. Does colour have any effect as far certain mooring areas go?managed to get 24 months using no 10 black but this year used no 10 red and 9 months needs doing again,admittedly tamiki river has been warmer this year.

Gave the modern boats a shock at prize giving,key consistently turn up.

easy answer there"Wheels" they used the spat from Marlborough to seed the Stuart Island beds,knowing full well that Marlborough has/had the parasite. The only way to eradicate the parasite is to destroy all oyster beds by bring ashore,but I guess the parasite will find another host. How can any council control Fan worm when imo would travel via currents or ships ballast pumped out off the coast and current would bring ashore eventually

Thanks

Any truth that they just sacked 40staff

He started a give a little page and posted a thread for it.2 or 3 of us made a suggestion or 2 on the morals of a give a little page.He used such colourful language telling us where to go with our advice,merely pointed out using such language was not going to help ones cause,next minute deleted. As far as i am concerned those give a little pages are for those in need of medical expenses etc where the govt/family just cannot cover costs. From his last post,somewhere,sounds like he has seeked employment to finance his repairs etc.

similar boats speeds perhaps we now need to mix it up a bit and force an oracle error

Well good on you Shane.hope it works out well and save some coin so you can carry on

ww2today.com/2nd-october-1942-troopship-liner-queen-mary-sinks-hms-curacoa The two ships collided with each other at 2:12 pm. The massive Queen Mary split Curacoa in two, leaving the cruiser’s halves engulfed in flames. She sank six minutes later with a loss of 338 men – from a total crew of 439. The Queen Mary was under strict orders not to stop for anything and continued on to Scotland, where she was outfitted with a concrete plug and sailed to Boston for more permanent repairs.

was it ww2 queen mary kept on steaming after running over her escort?escort zagged instead of zigged

some of are such an easy wind up,take things to serious,anyway Maori etc may of signed an agreement /treaty but even after the event we wanted more. In this case good on Tauranga iwi to stand up against the crown.This is only stage one.Wait till the water rights gets in to full swing.

h28?

Europeans(English decent)have caused nothing but harm to indigenous people where ever they went.America,werent happy until they drove the red Indians in to middle of no where and killed the buffalo starved the people,go to Australia(Tasmania) just for fun kill the aborigine's and further more removed there children to be brought up the English way Here in NZ,Maori may of eaten all the mariori who really knows?Next minute we are ramming our religion./way of life down their necks,we arrived uninvited.Where ever we have gone we have spread diseases.

might be wrong here,but pre european days there were tribes who went inland while others stayed on the coast.Take a look at Terapaha,he marched inland and decimated inland tribes.The Hauraki iwi who want to be part of Tauranga Moana,are probably the ones who settled around thames/miranda coast lines.imo if maori can prove ancestral fishing grounds they should be the legal occupiers/guardians. Customary is not just a maori right it applies to all Nzers,it is a means to exceed daily limits for special events.Tangis etc need to apply to the local kaumatua for a permit.

If you looking using an outboard instead inboard I would consider a long shaft 15hp Yamaha or any well known brand,stay away from things like parsons etc and go new,2nd hand who knows what abuse it has had,new in most cases is not much more,charge system 4 stroke ,need a decent bracket that you can adjust easily. what is wrong with inboard as cost of o/b may fix inboard?

Why should iwi/hapu not from Tauranga be given rights to an area that they have not fished?

sailed in to hooks bay in a nw 18/20knt nw anchored in front of the house,very comfortable until 4.00am when the wind dropped and swell ran in to the bay and became very uncomfortable rolling away and swung towards the shore,very grateful for my diesel.Doubt I could of sailed due to the swell with little wind.more than likely pushed ashore.

very handy those mechanical things,when on a leeshore at 2.00am,turn the key and away,particularly as Shane is looking at sailing up the coast,if he goes west and sleep prevails and awakens to the sound of breakers would be nice to have some reserve power

"Wheels" address is no problem,just put down yours but you would need to confirm this and live the lie.

Do what the rest of have done.Get a job!!Why should I support you through my taxes to live your dream?I presume you are on a benefit of some sort. Should I apologize for my comments?I think not.

what you dont go sailing in winter?I leave mine inflated at the club under cover.

a lot cav 32 are having osmosis problems,hence why some are $18k to $25k old tired yachts now

In much need of a run to charge batteries etc,ended up taking an Italian visiting yachtsman around Tamaki river to locate or try to locate his dinghy which broke away last night,Finally found in the mangroves at Wai O taiki Bay,Anchored my boat and retrieved dinghy only to find we were not first as oars taken but now I have a topping lift + 15lts of diesel that wouldn't fit in his tank so worth a trip in the cold,

Replaced engine anode,but shaft anode,little wear,bit of pitting as you would expect,no sign on mast or through deck ring,s/s fitting fine,push/pulpit usual staining,prop shaft only contact is direct to engine as have dripless shaft seal. But 2 years ago went through 2 in 9 months,been a change of vessels around in that time.
