Ring the harbourmaster. They have contact details on file. Coastguard may be able to help too. I've gone aboard boats in this situation and battened down for them.

What you need to know about Franks Ogilvie. The Wellington legal firm that employs that very nice man Jordan Williams <heavy sarcasm> of Dirty Politics fame is none other than Franks and Ogilvie, which has ex Act MP Stephen Franks as one of two partners.Franks Ogilvie

Executive Director of @TaxpayersUnionThe Taxpayers Union belongs to the Atlas Network, a global group of right wing think tanks funded by the Koch brothers et al. Atlas trains the likes of Williams: he's been to the US on their dime on several occasions, winning "fellowships"
tpu discovered to have been using false identities to make OIA requests including the name 'Raquel Ray.'
Here are just two of the Taxpayers' Unions' social media posts that have made the news for being insensitive. The first for appearing to compare the trauma of the Christchurch terror attack with the Ute tax, the second for allegedly making fun of stroke victims.
And of course we have charming people like Vern Ballance from AKL Ratepayers’ Alliance intimately connected with this bunch of racists.-

I'm presuming also you will disconnect them.

I'd love it. I'm in Kohi

Car hoists and boat haulouts is a not a good analogy because boat haulouts are much more limited. I like the direction of your thoughts but to take it s few steps further we could ban all privately owned goods on public land. That would mean a new type of society.

Thanks
I submitted an objection to

aardvarkash10 I was about to say that max $10k would be very good for Auriga. Am I understanding you correctly that you wouldn't pay that for it? As David said you could probably live on it for a couple of years and then sell it for $5k without spending too much.

Someone said "idyllic bays aren’t so good in the winter when it’s gusting 30knts". I'd have to disagree. There's nothing sweeter than sheltering in a nice bay out of the wind. You breathe a big sigh of relief nudging up into the calm. As for insurance, I'd agree with David, by the time you pay big bucks year after year you could buy another boat (which stands for Bring Out Another Thousand). Fuel berths on many marinas are public infrastructure operated under licence to the landowner (Auckland Council around the Gulf) and you don't need insurance as far as I know. I'll send you a DM re my boat which I am very torn about.

Thanks Steve
Much appreciated. I'm 63 now and maybe have a few years left. Hee hee. How old were you when it was done? BTW for anyone who has it in their family. GET CHECKED. A brother died young due to a heart attack and I put it down to bad living. Another brother had a heart attack and I put it down to bad living. Then I got short of breath and thought, hang on I should get checked. Four months after the op I still didn't realise I'd had a heart attack. The GP said I had. I said no, just short of breath and they found it when I went to ED. Wrong she said, you've had a heart attack. Oh well.

Easterly 30. If you're interested I would sell mine. I've had a triple bypass a few months ago and am not sure I will be up to sailing it solo as I used to.
-
Thanks. I got one on trademe and am picking up today! The guy I'm getting it from said he would never chain it up at a public dingy rack because it would get stolen. Geez there's some aholes in the world.

Thanks guys
I'll strike it off the list.

Thanks Fish. I've never done stitch and glue and am happy to put that pleasure off for a while.

Peter Blake's old boat disappears for days at a time and then comes back. I'm guessing it's within the rules.
-
Do you have a chart of the Harbour Master's limits? I imagine some other authority could move them on outside the limits?
-
Well done! kero fuel?

Wondering if anyone has one for sale or know where to buy one. All I want is a simple little tender. Aluminium 8 foot, two rowing positions.
I can't believe how hard it's been trying to find one. None of the manufacturers in NZ seem to go for small and simple these days.

Easterly 30 is very roomy.

Why not an Easterly 30? https://kmccready.wordpress.com/?s=easterly+30

Thread drift. Talking about human stupidity. I taught a refugee friend to drive and discovered that the Number One Cause of Failing Driving Exams in Aoteaora is failing to stop at a stop sign. How stupid is that?

16 hours ago, Abel Seaman said:
I used to be against compulsory boat registration and skipper licencing, but i am changing my views! I have the video of this encounter, and would share it with HM if the boat had ID.
Agree 100%. It might reduce a few drownings too.

Immediate phone call to rangers. I fail to get this "don't be a nark" culture. I'm happy to "nark" on pricks who think they are above the law.
