Hi
This is to let you know that "Hakura" is high and dry in Norsands Boat Yard in Whangarei.
During our visit to the Bay of Island we miss judged the tide and we went around for 5 to 6 hours. Not the most fun thing I have ever done. We got off OK however, Hakura was taking on more water so we sliped her in Whangarei.
There appears to be a problem with the join between the lead keel and the wooden base of the keel.
I am presently taking off the anti-foul so we can see what is up.
The lead keel may have to be dropped therefore the mast must come out.
I'll be giving photos n updates as we go.
Doug
