Black Panther 1,581 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 So we were on our mooring in level 3 lockdown with a storm happening (peak gust 48kn at Tiri), and we heard an outboard. I stopped the movie and put my head and three guys were heading out fishing in a small trailerboat. Darwin award material? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Outgoing tide too. would have been horrendous on the weiti bar. We were out there yesterday with the kids in the sailing dinghies and it was only 20kts nshore with outgoing tide and that was rough enough. Got the starling mast caught in the mud at one stage which was interesting and then on another capsize the young fella almost got swept under one of the big multhulls on the mooring. Fun day on the water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fish 0 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Bored more likely. I see on the live camera a couple of kite boarders at Orewa... Thought it was a bit too messy for that, but each to their own. Honestly, I wasn't sussing to see if I could take my small sail on the windsurfer out at Manly, which looks kind of do-able... if the wind settles a bit. On the fisho's BP, if they stop just around the corner from you, infront of the houses before the bar, it would be fairly sheltered I would have thought. What is it like in the river? reckon I could get away with a nice paddle board session? The gym is closed and I really need to burn off some frustration.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Thinking I might have to take the blokart for a hoon along orewa beach this evening. Low tide and strong onshore breeze. And the rain will be keeping the beach pretty empty as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
