I have zero affinity for the Manakau.
After the lockdown ended there was a number of deaths there. Mainly one boat capsize incident I think, then a waka ama guy and a diver or something.
Every time I've seen it, it just looks un-inviting.
Is it just my perception, or is there are far higher number of fatalities in proportion to the number of water users? The Gulf can be rammed with boats and we don't get nearly as many issues as the Manakau.

www.stuff.co.nz/national/300731933/police-searching-for-missing-kayaker-in-firth-of-thamesI fish the Manukau occasionly,has to be under 10knts,some magical spots when weather is right,tipitai(cake island) across to destruction gully uptowards the airport,magical siting there in 5m to 20m of water catching fish having planes landing/taking off overhead.

In my view, if you aren't from one of those tribes, then it is just a personal choice. The kayak fisho that is missing presumed drowned at the Coro mussle farms, other kayak fisho's have been out their and posting their catches on line, commenting about how they feel a bit funny fishing while a search is going on around them. Personally I wouldn't eat meat eating fish caught in an area where there is a fresh human body floating around. But that is a personal thing. I don't need no tribe to tell me how to think. PS, LJ's make it loads easier to find a body. PPS, who would take a 10yr old out in a small boat without an LJ? That warrants some charges. Shame the tribes weren't front footing it with some education and free LJ's. |

Plenty of bodies in the gulf,unrecovered. |

Plenty of bodies in the gulf,unrecovered. Yes. It is the fresh ones I'm thinking of. Still with meat on the bones. Apologies if that is a distasteful way to put it, but it is the realities of nature. PS, there are a lot more bodies per capita in the Manakau than the Gulf. |

Our small community was rocked a couple of days ago when a car went off the road into the harbour and the driver died . There’s a 5 day Rahul on the bay and no one is complaining (publicly). I think it’s actually also a fitting way to pay respect to the person who has passed even if you have issues with 3 waters , co governance or whatever
