Glad to hear they pulled it off. Quite a big undertaking for a small club that doesn't run many regattas!

Vava'u
in MarineTalk
Does anyone know more about the demise and (possible) return of a charter fleet in Vava'u?
It's something I've always wanted to do. Getting a boat set up for the passage is a whole different thing.

Yeah those. Would be quite nice if doc and mpi could get together and make one easy-to-read map!

Unhelpfully there are still CANs in place which are not part of that system and not on that map.

$60/min travel charge would get serious very quickly around Auckland!

Personally I'd hesitate to use GPT's version without careful checking. Superficially it does the job, sure, but I'd lack confidence that the important details are correct. I don't have the expertise in this area, but that's often the case in areas where I do.

Even just in a marina it must be a little bit interesting. Cool though.

When that finally happens, everyone will have turned off the notifications after getting fed up with nothing announcements while you're asleep.

Dont know any retailers who would want to be there, perhaps a large charter operator, and a cafe ...
I was thinking the same thing. Fishing charters you mean? The biggest (sail) charter operator out of opua has just shut down.

Seems a strange plan. Super remote by road, no?

There is a really interesting map on this page that shows where it has and hasn't been found. It must need updating as none of the new BOI locations are included.

Interesting that it is not in the popular anchorages put more in the high current areas.
Also interesting that the top of Coromandel and bottom of great barrier have it everywhere. Seems like an easy spot for it to spread via currents to all of the gulf.
Thanks for the map link, didn't know about that. Will be interesting to see the updated version in BoI. In general, it certainly it isn't a map of popular anchorages.

Northland Regional Council (NRC) confirmed this week that caulerpa had been found at six new locations in the eastern Bay of Islands Ipipiri island group, about six kilometres from Paihia.
It has been found at Urupukapuka Island’s major boating anchorages Paradise Bay and Otiao Bay (Entico Bay) and Moturua Island’s Army Bay as well at two locations around adjacent Motukiekie Island.
Wonder what they'll do now. The current anchoring ban makes little sense if it's widespread outside omakiwi (as always seemed likely).

Looks like summer might finally be arriving, just in time for the kids to go back to school.

I'm sure this has come up before, i.e. rig not covered by insurance beyond a certain age. I can't quite face searching for it right now though.

For the second year running, I am certain that the weather didn't help.

I hear a top race-spec moth is $120k. It's a whole different thing these days.
