ANZAC Day update .
Daryl and Rami from "Magical Niue Sea Adventures" have been busy in Alofi Bay laying more moorings for the upcoming cruising season. As mentioned in a previous post, storms over the summer months have created considerable movement of sand on the seabed almost burying some of our concrete footings.
Locating these and clearing access, has meant the need for additional dive time, often at depths of 30 metres ++, to clear the attachment points for the mooring lines.
It is about this time of the year that our first yachts arrive for the season, so we will have sufficient moorings for all new comers.
"Crunch time" will be on the 24th to 30th of May when the World ARC fleet of 24 yachts will be in Alofi Bar. This also co-incides with the arrival of Matson's freighter. The presence of the ship reduces the number of moorings available because of safety factors.
Before the 24th May we will also have to move concrete footings as shown in a video above. A difficult operation that has to be done in a narrow window of opportunity - with less than a month to go.
Thank you to all of our readers and members world wide who have supported our efforts. This helps immensely with the considerable costs of equipment and employing the expertise we need for the setting up of the 20 moorings needed. ... See MoreSee Less
