Atom Ant 0 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yeah their arrival will be all the sweeter for the difficulty of getting here. Hopefully by now they're in or through Colville Channel and entering our playground. Welcome Team Wheels! Link to post Share on other sites
PaulR 3 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Where and What time is the welcome party Some of us need time to get organised. I'm boatless but happy to crew for somebody as it looks nice and sunny today. Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 They're expecting to be at North Head at about 2:30ish apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Welcome into the Hauraki Gulf, Wheels, the day is great, and may all your cruising days in this gulf be as fine as this day (with maybe a bit more wind) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 By Txt Just had some whales come to greet us. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 So where are they berthing, Westhaven? And what's their ETA? If I'm free I might pop down and say hello. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 North Head just after 2pm, going to their new mooring at Hobsonville, so don't know where to go to greet them. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Oh right. Well if they are coming into a marina accessible from land it's worth popping down but if they are picking up a swinging mooring I don't feel like a swim today. Anyone know? KM? Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm guessing they'll be heading straight to the mooring which is up near Hobsonville Air Base I believe. They may stop off at the Bayswater or Westhaven fuel dock on the way though .... must have burnt through a bit of diesel in the last couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 They may stop off at the Bayswater or Westhaven fuel dock on the way though .... must have burnt through a bit of diesel in the last couple of days. Gull at Orakie might be n option as well, generally cheaper the guys tell me. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 He did mention he was running on fumes Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Anyone got their number (PM it to me)? If I can time it right I'll get some pics as they pass under the harbour bridge. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 On its way, I was trying to find out iof they were going to a fuel dock , no answer yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think the plan is direct to mooring just off Hobby YC but the fumes bit may mean a slight detour. I think they have a few spare lts on deck but the donkey hasn't had much help from the wind for the last few days. Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just received by txt @3:08pm: "Under bridge" They'll be on the mooring in another hour or so I'm guessing. Link to post Share on other sites
