CRUISING

Some of the rubbish collected during last years Beach Clean

Beach Clean 2017 - Sunday 22 October (Labour Weekend)
Our Beach Clean is a great time to visit all the bays where we have moorings, go ashore and pick up any rubbish.
You only need to bring bags for the rubbish and have some way of getting to land (and back to your boat again!)
There will be a raft-up on the Sunday evening which is likely to be at either Double Bay or Spencer depending on wind direction.
Most boats will do 4-5 beachs
For more details and to register please contact Rear Commodore Cruising - Gerald Harper on 03 573 5925 boat 'Dafrego'

SAVE THE DATE
CRUISERS FORUM
March 10/11 2018

With quite a few boats planning to head to the Islands in 2018 a Cruisers Forum will be very useful.
We are very lucky in having David and Patricia from Gulf Harbour Radio and Yachts in Transit coming along and sharing their experience with us.
Interested boats can tune into our morning net as boats are already on the move home. They will be able to hear the weather round up and hear the boats reporting in. That way they will know what they will be dealing with when they get going. It is at 8.15 am so go to www.Yit.nz and click on the Gulf Harbour radio tab (GHR) then down to internet radio.
If there is a topic you would like covered please email: office@waikawaboatingclub.co.nz

Your Stories Wanted!!

We are looking for interesting stories or anecdotes to fill a spot in the newsletter. Do you, or do you know of anyone doing something different (or not so different just interesting), with their boats. Out fishing this weekend and caught a biggie? Had an impromptu raft-up? Found something interesting? Know how to smoke fish or a really good recipe? Doing a delivery trip? Anything really..... Just let us know and we can put it in the newsletter (anonymously if you’re shy).

Just contact Brad or Sue in the office 03 573 6798 or email office@waikawaboatingclub.co.nz
