  1. Becoming the norm.
    Of course, all this will be solved in 2029. It could have been solved in 2026, but we didn't need two large rail enabled CookStrait / HW1 ferries according to our *Get us back on track austarity above all else* slasher mentality of our saviour government.
    Agreed, this is not Kiwi Rail. They struggle on with two non rail enabled ferries.

  5. If the quake minutes ago was really a 5.1, I am a Martian.

    I've known 5.3s which rattled and rumbled far less.

  6. Recorded a year ago… but just released- I got to participate in an episode of a neat podcast on #OpenWaterSwimming. I got to talk about #oceanography perhaps more than is usual for the series 🤓 #CookStrait

  7. wowza - the individual and relay team made it across #CookStrait #TeMoanaORaukawa in under 10 hrs! - some of the early swims in the 1970s were used to infer tidal currents in a time before gps and looking at a screen... #OpenWaterSwimming oceanswims.nz/track/cookstrait

  8. Approximate location of the #InterIslander ferry #Kaitaki, without power, at anchor, and having issued a #Mayday. Awaiting assistance and likely struggling in heavy seas and a strong #Southerly blowing through the #CookStrait.

  9. So often awed by the light cast on the waters of the #CookStrait, and across the #MarlboroughSounds, on the southerly approach into #Wellington Airport. #flying #NewZealand
