What does https://www.windy.com say? 4 knots, that's near 8 kph. which is a noticeable little bit of wind. So what is it in reality? 0 knots, absolutely zero, zilch. The other day when I could barely feel it my anemometer was just showing, only just rotating so if it isn't bothering to rotate today ...

Interesting website Badfisherman. So I check the wind speed, given as 10 knots outside our front door. I look at my anemometer and it says you'd be lucky to feel any wind, it is barely revolving. I go outside and I notice the air is just about moving, if there was a gust it might get to half a knot ...

An example of wind and land effect. We stopped (a year ago?) about 3/4 of the way out of Port Levy for lunch on the east side of it. The bay runs near north south, Lyttelton the next one round is about east-west. A strong NW, possibly more west got up and when we launched, found we were in a stiff e...

Hey Mac50L, your whole outlook on what is written is very subjective. Heralds story is badly written Really ! Anything written by stuff, i personally would never believe a word of their reporting. The report was more likely written from the words of those that were involved. Looks like you reformat...

The Herald's story was badly written as they start off, then it jumps to experience, jumps to rescue, jumps back to somewhere else. Re-reading and reformatting that story, it appears they drifted 8 km along the coast though as written you get the impression they are that far off shore. It mentions j...

You might even find something else interesting if you dig a little.

There is no specific kayak fishing club that I know of but would be interested to hear. This is the list of known sea kayak clubs and networks in NZ - https://canterburyseakayak.wordpress.com/nz-kayak-clubs-networks/ A network is a club without fees and often without a constitution or elected office...

Thanks Al. There is a record kept of kayak incidents going back a couple of decades and the record keeper contacted me and knowing it was fishing related, here was an obvious place to start asking.

Thanks again.

Has anyone heard about this? Two days ago. If they hadn't found anything 2 days ago, a dead story...or kayaker. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/05/search-for-missing-person-after-kayak-overturns-in-manukau-harbour.html https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12...

The main Govt Covid-19 site says absolutely no fishing from a boat because there is No Boating. There is no contact method via their site. However the website you have given, the NZ Sport one, https://sportnz.org.nz, and by the Govt does have a Contact link. So quoting the "no boating" bit's link, I...

I got a very quick reply from Jonty so full marks there. Here is something he mentioned in his email to me - "There are a number of situations like this – one we’re seeking clarity on at the moment is spearfishing from the beach (snorkelling and freediving ok but no mention of spearfishing) " So yes...

However Jonty Mills of Water Safety thinks you can't fish from a kayak because you aren't allow to go boating. He doesn't seem to realise that all the links say no motor boating or sailing - ONLY. All links say you can go boating in any type except those two. Basically Jonty doesn't seem to realise ...

Full marks Marc N for the trouble you went to and the success you achieved. Thank you.

You can row a skiff but I always rowed a rowing boat. No way was it a skiff. No way was it long and narrow. Take a clinker built rowing boat, just under half as wide as long. It is a rowing boat. So a skiff is only one type of rowing boat. I think you're just intentionally twisting things to suit y...

"Allowed: swimming, surfing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing,..." So what do you row in? A rowing boat. .... Actually, I think its called a skiff. Very long and narrow and used by the likes of Mahe Drysdale, Presumably the eight is off-limits but the single scull is probably still allowed. You can row a...

Typical, six paragraphs when only the first one applies to what is being talked about. The rest is simply waffle and a total waste of time. Presumably it is all, the other 5 paragraphs, copy & paste. If not then there must be a total lack of thought going on and a total waste of time and money. One ...

"Allowed: swimming, surfing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing,..." So what do you row in? A rowing boat. Always have. You could also call it a dinghy but rowing boat is the correct term. What they mean and fail to say is "No power boats or sailing boats." That covers everything they want to say but they s...
