Another LAKE TARAWERA TRIP - Feb 2024
Just Nigel and I. John Welsford came out that evening just for the one night. He had a blissful 'night sail' in the Noelex.
Winds were fickle for the most part, except this leg. Good boatspeed and easy helming for well over an hour. Nigel had a ball on land.
My Achilles Tendon handled the boat and almost 8km of the Tarawera Trail very well - considering. This was week 25 after the injury last August. 95% back to normal. Yay!!!

Camp at Lake ARAPUNI - Arohena Campsite - Algae Bloom all through the lake - Jan 2024
มุมมอง 1228 หลายเดือนก่อน
New tent (ORSON RAIDER XL1) at Lake Arapuni, in the Arohena Camping area on the Waikato River. Only 30 mins from home. Unfortunately there was an algal bloom in full force, so the fish were either very deep or had transferred upstream to the flowing (nicer, cleaner, cooler) water of the Waikato River. They weren't biting. The algae smells significantly which is off-putting. But it was not toxic...
It's OK to eat Breakfast for Dinner. Isn't it?

Yet another night on Lake Tarawera this week. 6.30pm and 8 degrees C with temp expected to get down to 3 overnite. It did. Bacon, Eggs, Hash Browns and Baked Beans for dinner, with Peaches and Yoghurt for dessert. All washed down with a beer and a glass of red. All very civilised! I used the trusty Trangia as well as the little gas Hikers Stove as there were 4x foods needing cooking/heating. Ni...

The evening meal aboard GRACE, cooked on the Trangia (meths) cooker. Boat Harbour is a natural little bay, very sheltered to everything but SE wind/waves. At times I've seen 15-20 boats stacked up in there.

Nice! Is that a carbon boom?
Not only the boom. The 2 pce mast , yard, and boom are all carbon. Mast is painted to cabin level - the rest natural. The mizzen mast is also carbon (off a windsurfer) with a wooden jigger boom. Thanks for the interest ! GH
Might see you over there one day
Saw a decent 'red' up the stream valley, but 100m in thick scrub. No gun this trip. How's the concrete game?
@Grahame Harris wow that's awesome, I took my 12ft tinny over last Saturday for hunt and ran out of time to check out pools, shame I missed you. Works slowing but that's to be expected. Good you've got your comments turned on, I've tried previously. How's retirement.
@@BushEscape Retirement is cool. Fishing basically every week and boat time away every 3-4 weeks. Re comments, the 'ok for kids' setting prevents comments. Just twigged to that. I'm usually away mid week when it's quieter and fewer folk to get uppity about taking dog. He got another wallaby too. A good trip. How'd you get on, over there?
