From other accounts I have read the conditions of the Kaipara Bar on the day were marginal at best.  Other charter boats had cancelled due to the conditions and some punters booked on the ill fated vessel also cancelled.  Lucky for some but not so for others.  Very sad and a reminder to all.

Sad story indeed, just not worth it in crappy weather.
