6hr tow of yacht from Wellington south coast
- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Thu, 05/01/2023 - 09:30 - 21:30 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 2 Total Volunteer Hours: 84 38ft steel yacht got it's anchor stuck near Makara/Ohau. Whilst manoeuvring to release it they overheated the engine. They were unable to sail due to low wind and inexperience, so ended up drifting south in the strong currents. By the time we got to them they had drifted 10NM into Cook Strait, south of Karori Rock through the Karori Rip. It took us 5hrs to tow them back to Mana, by which point the tide was at it's lowest point. We had to put them on the mooring just outside the bar and then return the passenger back to base, leaving the skipper aboard.

Smokin gets some long overdue love

If you’re starting out mountain biking, Smokin is a great option for helping progress onto intermediate trails. It’s a gentle gradient with no scary drop offs on the side of the trail to distract you! This work is particularly focussed on improving the switchbacks and the flow by rebuilding berms to allow riders to safely carry more speed as they improve their skills. Thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this work as part of their commitment to Mākara Peak. Check out Smokin on Trailforks at https://www.trailforks.com/trails/smokin-20917 Help us do more great things at Mākara Peak by signing up to the Trails Wellington app or donate at https://givealittle.co.nz/org/makarapeak The track is still raw in places, so take care. Maybe even stay off it, if too wet, especially if the forecast is a bit dodgy.
