piss off dick

leave earlier than that

reason for attack theres more to explore round the south coast, but you need to get past one bay in particular either side of low tide and low tide that day is 1.30pm, so wanting to be crossing bay bout 12.30 ish, which means leaving carpark an hour or so earlier

depending on your revised departure time, we could say meet at carpark at 10.30 for a 10.45 departure time

do ya know where ya going or do ya need an 80 escort, coz you will driving past my place

[badnuz]

fair call, i have no ideas on wheres/whens/tides etc etc

i also have no idea where to go, i will have Haynzy tagging along in his playdoh so if we swing past your place Skid at maybe what time you suggest?

[skid]

wait

may have jumped the gun

* skid sheepishly awaits replies*

won't know for a day or two, but may have been wrong, low tide may be at 5.30pm

do folks just want a day drive or day/night

are you palmy boys allowed out that late or do you have to be home and all tucked up in bed by 8pm

[badnuz]

im staying the nite to go with Reece on sunday with the Manawatu club thru the Akas.... so a nite run could be swell!

[Fakey]

Looks like the low tide is just after half 1, last time me an taz went round there the tide was starting to go out. It was still a bit difficult to get past the 1st part of the bay that the waves hit the cliffs at high tide (not sure what its called). We werent sure what the tide was doing at that stage so we turned back.
Thats as far as Ive been so id be keen to go right round as far as we can go.
My work mate will bring his 40 as well, if the weathers ok. Told him being able to turn your engine off is way over rated

[skid]

righto, someone else can look to make sure, but the site has refreshed and I believe low tide at Cape Terawhiti, will be at 4.05pm

so if we cruise through Cave Bay about 3ish and back about 5ish, we should be right.

Its not my trip, so somebody else can put up an official meeting time at the gate. I reckon the easiest meeting place is on the very first beach just past the information building, its away from the carpark and theres plent of room to pull over and air down etc etc

[badnuz]

so working on those times can a local yokel advise a suitable meeting time at the aforemention spot as i have no idea?

phone calls have been made

palmy folk have to get up early

welly folk can have a wee bit of a sleep in


10am on beach for 10.15 departure time

[chrome]

14;41 is what my tide generator tells me will be low tide at oteranga bay 20;48 high tide



05:53 NZST Twilight begins
06:53 NZST Sunrise
17:52 NZST Sunset
18:52 NZST Twilight ends

07:51 NZST Moonset
21:22 NZST Moonrise

02:32 NZST 0.45m. Low Tide
08:23 NZST 0.87m. High Tide
14:41 NZST 0.45m. Low Tide
20:48 NZST 0.87m. High Tide

this is based on some harmonic thing this guy knows about in 2002 he wrote the program. so basically if his shit is wrong its only wrong by 8 years

how old is the little fulla dude

my 7 year old daughter will be there and there will be plenty of stops for him to run around in the sand etc etc

and theres usually a few who leave early from round there, so you can pretty much leave anytime you like
