theres some real classics on youtube.How did they ever get a licence?

The "bug" exist in petrol too, but because we use our vehicles often and filling tank it doesnt get a chance to get established same with heavy transport. But vessel lay unused for long periods with 1/2 full tanks so condensation gets in and away the bug goes. Never had a problem, dosed tank each fill, kept tank full and regular use with regular change of filters and drain/check water trap.. Buy fuel from high turn over stations.

50/50 may work we you both use the boat at the same time. The 2 issues I see are. Breakages not being reported.(yeah it was fine when left it) Maintaince Who does what or pays for what. 50% boat ownership is easy its have they got the funds for maintaince?

On the weekend ,Greenpeace held their "Ban the Trawler protest for the gulf. Where were "Legasea"?? being their non political selves. Under the umbrella of NZSFC cant be seen at or organise protests. Just read the National party Fishing policy. In the next 10yrs to double output from Aquaculture.

what happens in reverse?

This boat has no crew?? www.facebook.com/watch?v=708137611118850

Bin it,well recycle it at oil receiver shop

Have you tried NZ fibreglass in panmure

The call for regristration not nessacary. The insurance companies could say"no day skipper corse or better. no insurance" one way getting people to know basic rules.? Currently you can purchase near any size vessel in NZ with no idea about rules etc.When was the last time a dealer/broker said"heres a booklet on rules of the sea?"

The ferry being the stand on vessel must also try to avoid collision too. Turned to stb may of been more of a gunnel to gunnel contact. But it will come out in 18 months.

All above board.It has been the dry dock at Devonport naval base.Son found an article about it.

I gather then the ship would of been internal waters.With or without our knowledge or permission?? Try it off the USA!china and see how they get on😀

Gather from the article ,somewhere between GT Barrier and Kawau as they talk about entering north channel?

The RNZN would of known about it's intention surely?

Had that off the Hen n Chicks,longliner,presumed laying so gave way to it. none seem to display I am fishing day signal,2 cones pointing towards each other,? The modern nav gear is a bit frightening. Had spencer 1/2ton fitted with a course plotter and linked to autohelm,so easy to set (going to windward) and make a coffee,but did pop up every 5 minutes and make sure no other vessels around.Winter going north so no real issue,sure as heck would try sailing from Motuhihi with it up the harbour.

This should clear it up?? www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/russell-ferry-collision-witnesses-of-bay-of-islands-boat-collision-describe-horror-watching-it-unfold/52GU7YSDOJCEFB3XYYXSHMVCGM/ Could not see anyone at the helm of that boat, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t someone there. It had two 300-horsepower motors on the back and it was full, fast. And he just don’t swerve, he didn’t slow down, didn’t put the throttle down. He just ran straight into the front of the ferry. He told Checkpoint it was lucky the boat - the eight-metre ‘Boston Whaler’ - hit the strongest part o

My contacts all use messenger rather than post

Not unique here ,as a fishing site I follow had over 300 post a day,now down to 5 or 6 members posting every couple of days,apparently facebook with community pages has killed a lot of sights off. Still find interesting content here. Found community F/B you get real silly answers from no life experienced people.

makes one wonder who is lurking off the coast ,above or under the water.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/mon-dieu-a-french-warship-spotted-off-the-new-zealand-coast/RM5YH5G3PJHZTBRHJ25PSVZAPA/ A volunteer coastguard crew was shocked to discover a French warship lurking in the Hauraki Gulf mist while searching for a stricken yachtie. Kawau Volunteer Coastguard was called out to assist in the search and rescue of the yacht that had lost navigation and electronics amid a gale warning, with winds of 30 knots and heavy rain off Kawau Island last week.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/enchanter-tragedy-case-heard-in-court-skipper-faces-charges-relating-to-the-deaths-of-five-men/HXWWGJLLKBDPVE4H37UNYSSBOA/ Goodhew is charged with breaching his duties as a worker on the vessel and in doing so allegedly exposed individuals to a risk of death or serious injury. The charge carries a maximum penalty of a $150,000 fine. His business, which trades as Enchanter Charters Ltd, is charged with operating a ship without the prescribed qualified personnel. It alleged Goodhew did not have a medical certificate at the time o

Start of with compulsary "Day Skipper" ticket,covers basic rules etc. If no improvement then boat registration. Trailer boats are easy to do,trailer rego on hull ,one off fee or annual with trailer rego. Yachts/launches(moored) one off fee through ynz until sold/change of ownership. Currently have boatmasters,sat in 1987 with the marine dept when they were in jean batten place ak .Only change I can think of is the AK channel markers went from Numbers to Alphabet ,but "A" buoy still "A" buoy.

Wonder what charges will be laid?? Failing to give way.nit keeping a proper lookout.excessive speed?? The Boston whaler this is.Acident causing injury or possible death?? Penalties??

About 7 or 8yrs ago,Legasea held a fishing symposium. One of the guest speakers was Everlyn pinkerton from BC Canada. She pointed out that all regional councils are responsible for the seabed/fauna/shellfish/fish(in conjunction with mpi)out to the 10 mile limit. But to take on council would be costly.Who has a lazy 2 or 3 mil?? The Landing,not are you only taking on AK council but local Marae who want a cleaner Okahu Bay. Councils arguement will be ,we need to put costly containment tanks in. Hike fees up. $200 up/down $200 per day and say no DIY must use approved applicators for removin

So if the ayba wins appeal no doubt council will lodge another appeal or make the haulout cost prohibitive. See gave them the facilities but they don't want to use it Wayne Brown wants everything to be profitable.user pays.Want to make Liberians volunteers.Close cabs as rents to costly. What sanctions are ynz going to place on rayc seeing how they back closure??
