The Return
Return Trip Planning
Optimist departing
Light Winds, incoming tide - need to tow out
Still under tow
Rest Of The Fleet Departing
Misleading looks underway but light winds and incoming tide only 3 managed to sail out
Making more headway up to waiuku than across out
Drifting upstream in tide as Waiuku fishing charter makes gradual but slow headway out
Alternative walking the boat out
Collected and taken undertow
The three that managed to get some breeze making slow progress along the shoreline and out
The others undertow to hopefully sail from father out in the Manakau back to French Bay
