Heading to Ponui this afternoon, as my boat style no longer involves masts I expect my twin Cummins will get me there in good time for a wine or two  |

I am afraid I have a 20 year Riviera these days . I keep a very wide berth from yachts and I am a very religious rule follower. We use about 80 litres an hour at 18 knots. Boating just ignore the dollars |

Boating just ignore the dollars Unfortunately I joined the same group but in a smaller scale. No time to invest in Maintaince or run down to check moorings. Ended with 14ft trailer boat, local fishing east/west depending on weather , Unfortunately we reached a time poor management through no fault, but thats employment today .6 day weeks,got mine down to 5 with standby. Just read an interesting article seeing how innissmara is up for sale and the struggle they have crew/custodianship. I would consider her to be a cheap vessel but betherage is a killer. www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/3319495565?bof=JXR6iPpXfrom 3 yrs ago but think situation still be the same boatingnz.co.nz/classic-sailing-a-call-to-arms/ |

Yes, time poor these days. My friend I raced with struggled with crew after awhile and had a top boat (always race someones elses yacht ) Marina fees are a killer. We bought the lease a few years back, but when that ends in about 7 years I think we will sell or move out of Auckland. |

We bought the lease a few years back, but when that ends in about 7 years I think we will sell or move out of Auckland. It's not just the cost of the berths, it is the availability as well. Try buying/renting long term a 14m+ berth anywhere between Tauranga and Kerikeri, almost non existent. On a different summer cruising matter - the weather - wondering if we are starting to see the standard pattern for the summer setting in? Forecast is for another La Nina cycle which means northerlies and a fair amount of rain for the north of NZ. |

The water was in the 18-19C range over the weekend around Tiri which seems quite warm for this time of year?

I am certain that all us Aotearoa-philes out there are looking forward to visiting again . .
the past 20 months or so must have been really hard for your tourism businesses.
"New Zealand will allow fully vaccinated international travelers into the country from next year, in a gradual easing of its strict border restrictions that have been in place for more than 18 months to curb the spread of the coronavirus."
