I just listening to RNZ and they have said authorities have opened some lanes on the Harbour bridge here at just past 6am in the morning. What the hell is wrong with the idiots -- unless you are a fire or ambulance truck, you would be an absolute idiot a 10/10 in the 'Muppet-0meter' to be anywhere near trying to drive over the bridge in these conditions...and the worst is yet to come
IdiotsIt's currently 9kn gusting 26kn at Bastion Point, an hour ago in was 8kn gusting 16kn.
If the sun was out and you closed the bridge in that wind you'd get laughed out of town and rightly so.
To me it sounds like NZTA have done ok.
Yes it's forecast to howl later on (as it is forecast to do right now actually - but it's not...) but it swings to the South which is nigh on running parallel with the bridge. So other than high sided vehicles it still should be ok I'd have thought.

Just heard from friends who were crayfishermen at the mercs for a long time that there is no walking over the island this year, allowed to go on the beachs but not more.

Heading north tomorrow, got 6 weeks to have a mosy around up there, hoping to get right up the top if Huey allows us.
Out little boat is Te Kouma, got 10 & 11 boys on board if anyone has kids who needs some kid company...

This guy anchored off narrowneck this morning made me quite jealous.

This guy has some good tests, skip to about 35 mins if you want to cut to the chase.
I've got an excel, love it, held one day at Port Charles in 55+ with the boat doing 1kn back and forth side to side in the gusts. Dad always ranted that Port Charles had the worst holding around. The next morning was the only time I've had to tow the anchor out.
But I'm sure if you ask 10 different people you'll get 15 different opinions which one is best.

Not local (a Norwegian sailing in the North Atlantic) but this guy shoots amazing video:

Erik Aanderaa is a solo sailor, and these videos have amazing scenery and are incredibly well filmed and edited. Now I want to go visit the Faroe Islands!
He's got some amazing footage in his latest trip to the Faroes.

Sounds like it'd be a brave man that bid a dollar on it!

Mate is getting this done now (in akl), he's using Marine Dynamics, they've templated the deck and prebuilt it in their workshop so once you're on the hard you're not there nearly as long.

Now it's Muzled turn for sourdough.
Yes, so.... I've watched about umpteen dozen videos and read double the amount of articles of tips, tricks and pointers.
But I follow Irish guy below after having tried a few other methods and come out with a lesser result. A lot of other recipies don't knead the dough, they strech and leave over multiple hours, I haven't done that but it supposedly works better. For me I find kneading fits my daily routine better.
I use Rye and wholemeal flour for the starter and a dutch oven to cook it in as didn't have a pyrex dish.
My dough mix is 90% white and 10% Rye or WM. Get the oven as hot as it'll go, mine takes 35mins to hit 250 and I do the first lid on cooking for 25mins rather than his 12 or so.
If you watch other vids they'll use way less starter and more water.
I think it's probably a bit like anchoring, if you asked 5 different people, you'd get 11 different opinions.
I've only been doing it since last years lockdown so am still experimenting changing one thing at a time and find one day I'll get an awesome loaf, repeat exactly what I did the next day and it comes out not quite as good. 🥴

Lol 100 mill at the moment is around a days cost currently and a drop in the ocean the way money is being spent at the moment
LOL 100 mil at the moment is around a days income for the rich fullas that own these teams.
Obviously I just made that up but there's no shortage of money floating around if some 1%'er wants to hang the cup in his lounge.
Taxpayers don't need to be paying to host what at the end of the day, is a minority sporting event.

My brother was inspired by David Lewis to do a trip to Antarctica on his boat Snow Petrel with my Dad and younger brother as crew.
That's awesome! Just watched all three vids over dinner with the kids. Brings out the wanderlust.

Looks like hard work to me.
Brother in law is into it, he has a surf shop so has several old foils laying about and is going to drop off an old one to tow behind the dinghy, reckons it'll pop at 5kn and said it's pretty cool feeling the foils load up as you turn.
Would need to be detachable to have on the boat but could be good amusement for lazy arvos (and anyone watching the first few attempts...)

Crew.org to the rescue. We have a member in tauranga getting me a pump and mailing it to another member within walking distance of our boat. Yay.
Phew, didn't even have to rush out a buy a house... 👍😉

At least I'll be able to get my 'white powder' to you at some stage BP... (although I'm not sure when exactly!)

Interesting that he said he's making a comfortable living now, that's quite cool.
He's been bloody lucky to have that aussie guy Jamie with him on Parlay for so long.

The Rose Harmony’s third officer saw the Leila Jo when it was 5.6 kilometres away, observed the two vessels being on a potential collision course, and told the ship’s master several times, the report said.
“But the bridge team did nothing about it until it was too late.”
The Leila Jo’s deckhand – the sole watch keeper – saw on radar a vessel leaving Lyttelton, but did not investigate further.
The captain of the Rose Harmony is now a deckhand and the deckhand of Liela Jo is now a floor sweeper at pns?

Not really outboards but interesting article on new battery tech.
https://www.mining.com/german-researchers-develop-record-breaking-lithium-metal-cell/
In their paper, the group reports that with the cathode NCM88 and the electrolyte ILE, the lithium metal battery achieves an energy density of 560-watt hours per kilogram (Wh / kg) — based on the total weight of the active materials. The device also has an initial storage capacity of 214 milliampere hours per gram (mAh / g) and 88%of the capacity is retained over 1,000 charging cycles.
Just did a quick google on what Li batteries are now and it says 100-265 Wh/kg, so quite the step up.

So someone is going to put some dry white powder into an envelope and send it to someone else?
Please let us know when this is going to happen. I’ll be watching the news with great interest (for a change)…
Ha, just to satisfy your curiosity but mainly to save you from watching the news...

Where are you?
I'm on the shore. Apparently you can dry the starter out and reconstitute it back to life by adding some fresh flour n water.
Could pop some in an envelope and send it to you if you want.
(my first few loaves didn't turn out very well, it def takes some trial and error)

I would think a data recovery crowd would be able to get your photo's back.
Often they operate on a no recovery/no fee basis.
