Mothership 6 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It's that time of year, where everyone empties out the boat of the go fast gear, puts in the squabs (if it's a racer) and stocks up for the typical NZ boatie break. Who's off to where, this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 We only have a few days at a time, so will be in the gulf, maybe the barrier for a few days. If you see Island Time, come over and introduce yourself!! Might be a few spare cold ones!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 310 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Cordite has sold now so im currently boatless. Tom has very kindly offered us the Pork Chop for the holiday as he is not using it. Pretty stoked with that as she is a minta. We are heading to the Mercs and outside of the barrier if the weather cooperates. Hopefully getting away christmas day or boxing day to the corromandel or bottom end first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 We'll be out on Sundreamer in the Mercury Bay area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 000 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Out of Whangamata for our annual 3 month aimless cruise, departing in a few days time. Will go anywhere and everywhere so long as the breeze is not on the nose. Gentlemen don't sail to windward. (Neither do H28s) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,584 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 That Tom is a good man, he saved us a couple of timers. Just arrived at GH after a delightful few days coming down from Opua. Xmas dinner in the house then down to the boat and see which way the wind is blowing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sold the boat last Sunday so will just enjoy being boatless and at home by the beach, and maybe checking the net for second hand multis that may be very negotiable ,or even a campervan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Surely Ex TL, things are not that bad! You know it goes Sailboat - Motorboat - MOTORHOME - Rest Home, right? A campervan is looking decidedly like a motorhome.... Merry Christmas Everyone, Have a safe holiday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 yes well motorhome is what the wife wants but with the weather that I remember in 2014 I am almost tempted, at least it seems that we have some nice weather for everyones Xmas cruising, Enjoy!

erice 732 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 just back from an overnighter to Rakino wasn't game to squeeze in at crowded Woody + West bays so joined the stragglers a bit further south at Fowlhouse bay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abrainard 1 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Pukeko and fam are hope for a little easy multi-day cruise around Waiheke and maybe up to Kawau to inaugurate her purchase. We'll see if we liked it as much as our first cruise to and from Izzi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
