Although Island Time is a Phase 4 not a 1220, similar issue. I splashed out and bought a folding wheel...

Well, finally decided that I needed my own starlink system, as customers have them and/or are asking about them. Bought it from Noel Leemings - about $350. It comes with a router for WIFI and powering the antenna, a power cord, and a router to antenna cord. That's it, and that's all you need for a 230v setup. It's really easy to do, basically go to starlink.com, and create an account. It asks for the KIT number for your antenna, and then credit card details. I chose the basic local roam plan, $199/month. Setup was easy - basically plug it in, name your WIFI network, and allocate a password. 5

Does not look right to me. I'd say yes, photoshopped...

From opti to Starling? 14.5 years, 43 kilos
Island Time replied to Sarah1000's topic in Everything Else
Usually starling crew is from about 48kg. But 43 is not unknown. Have to hike hard and learn to depower the rig in a breeze. If she's keen , go for it! -
Ok, Please don't take this the wrong way. As you have no other answers perhaps I can offer a few thoughts? The Tasman is not to be taken lightly, and December can be windy. Expect to see 40-60 knots at some stage and you will likely not be disappointed. You may be lucky, but don't count on it. You may be unlucky and see more... Consider before leaving what your heavy weather plan is. I have done the Tasman more than 10 times, including Solo, and over 50000 blue water miles. You say in your ad that you are on your 1st bluewater passage, that's cool, we all have a 1st. Is the boat NZ r

Yes. But I've never bought a return ticket. Just a properly executed letter, it needs to look official, proper vessel stamps and letterheads help. Seafarers do this all the time, replacement crew fly in on one way tickets, but often Airline staff are not used to it. And check in with plenty of time. If you have issues, ask for a supervisor.

Nah, this one I reckon

You'll need an official letter from the owner/skipper saying you are signing on as crew. Best on letterhead, and stamped with ships stamp. Otherwise airlines can deny boarding...

Found on for you. Very tidy. PM'd you.

Fair enough. Good 1220s don’t stay on the market long….

What about this? Good price I reckon..https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/4171822753

You can give feedback here https://aucklandtransport.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4O50ulCJnvay6WO?URLTopic=mainlink This is what I submitted. I oppose the proposal to terminate the Gulf Harbour ferry service in 2028. It reduces public transport options in this network, increases congestion on the eastern half of the peninsula and will result in greater private vehicle use and carbon emissions. It fails to recognise the specific constraints of this section of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and the important role the Gulf Harbour ferry service plays in providing the fastest and most

For a start, AT were using passenger numbers from the last couple of years - covid and crap unreliable service so no workers want to go on it as they cant gaurantee to get home. If it actually leaves! The numbers were not wrong, but did not state the position accurately. Lies, Damn lies, and statistics! Picking statistics to suit your agenda is not being truthful...

Yep, those guys bought a 1280. I can put you in touch with them if you'd like to talk? They are in seaview now...

getting hard to find a good one. https://westhavenmarinebrokers.co.nz/boat-info.php?id=13 https://westhavenmarinebrokers.co.nz/boat-info.php?id=98

Sorry, but the AT data is fundamentally flawed. Timing wise it doesn't allow for the times to GET to penlink, or the fact most of the ferry users come from the outer end of the peninsula. Most days at peak traffic times it can take 15 mins to get from Army bay to where the new "kiss and ride" bus station will be (NO parking!). Travel TO GH from these areas is usually a few mins, not stuck in the queues. Currently there is a new 88 home development at fairway bay, and it's quite likely that the (now closed) GH golf and country club will become housing - 400 + homes. All this on a basic dua

Nearly 400 at the meeting last week, pretty good turnout from a pop at the end of the peninsular of 7000... and over 3000 signatures on the petition a week ago.

Registration Offshore such as the Cook Islands

Malaysia asked when clearing in - once, but not the other times 🙄 , oh and Thailand as well IIRC -
Registration Offshore such as the Cook Islands
Island Time replied to Will Fransen's topic in MarineTalk
Times have changed. In many places, no access to a marina without insurance - can make fueling etc difficult, and I've even been asked for insurance details when clearing in... But anything will do there, they just want the piece of paper...
