Really liking the boat always picking up on new things have been watching coast guard videos on bar crossings ( I am not going to attempt it) to pickup on different boat handling techniques and what I did yesterday by sitting on the back of that one bit of swell is the same thing they do when crossing a bar on the return and just gave us a more comfortable ride as well as maintaining that one speed in fact I am looking at doing the bar crossing course in the near future just so I can pay $35 to go for a ride on the coast guard boat over the Kawhia bar to see what it is actually like as well as learn more stuff, yeah it was pretty cool actually winning a prize for a change as I am normally the one sitting by watching everyone else clean up the prizes.
Sadly @veitnamcam there were no pics as it was too bloody wet to even think about getting the phone out for pics while on the water, will see what we can do next time we go out on the boat and for the Kawhia queens birthday one day comp that is coming up in June hopefully by then I will get to know a few more spots on that harbour and it is one harbour you definitely need to explore at low tide so you can learn where all the channels are to be able to get around there as the place is full of sandbanks.
