Nelson harbourmasters have made a big deal out of no more leniency and out with the fines of late regarding the 5 knot rule..not that I launch out of Nelson very often but I cant say I have seen them police it.?

Working up a mast in a 5knot zone while all and sundry burn past at warp factor nine is not much fun!!

This is one my pet hates, and I just wish I was allowed to do more about it than simply inform our HM, who has the spine of a prawn

Not so much of a prawn more of a jelly fish??

Had 2 jetskis go past at WOT well inside the 5 knot area and only buttoned off just past Talleys

Had 3 of them hooning around just inside the bar at Foxton on Friday. One was towing a seabiscuit with some kids on. Outside the 5 Knot zone but if anyone knows the area 3 hours down from high, there is not much room. they would have been doing over 20 knots easy. I just kept on and assumed they would get out of the way since they were tracking all over the place. Actually saw a boat nearly hit the bar since he followed a jetski in around over the bar. lucky he seemed to realise just before he grounded and went out and about 400m down the coast to the channel

No plan at this stage.....But no point the boat just sitting there growing weed, probably last time I get to use it until late feb. I'm thinking the Island and you can show me some of you king fishing tips? Not to worried either way even just a fish in the bay if it suits people better. Not concerned who comes as long as they are GC's. If none of the big boys want to come out we could always take kids and big boys.
Either way, a nice wee mission for shits and giggles, Rocktoy, shearer, pengy, etc or kids and setline the bay and do some of the able Tasman?
