I’ve noticed a big reduction in launch traffic this year . Shit loads of yachts going past (north) until a couple of days ago . Surprisingly few going south , I was expecting a lot to flee the weather before it set in this week and head back to Auckland .

Gt Barrier has been the quietest I have seen in years. Quite a few left yesterday with the approaching weather. We will stay out until it passes. Remember just before Xmas the forecast was looking pretty crap around 27-28 Dec, so I suspect that put people off. We have had fantastic weather until early this morning when the odd shower started coming thru and the wind cranked up, coming from Port Abercrombie into Port Fitzroy it was blowing a solid 25 kts SE. |

Intersting at this time of yr harvest time ring a bell?? Yeah, that is another name for Wairahi Bay, up past the Honey farm. Had a look in the RAYC Coastal Crusing guide after posing my question. They also talk about Paradise Valley. Found Flynns Landing on a search kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/photos/id/78790/ |

We hid up there in 70 knots + a few years back. Did not budge, but have an excellent anchor (Excel) and had about 50m of chain out.
