We start a few hours too early as huge quantity of water ll fall on the way north, especially on this place not far from highest peak of NZ mont PANIER;Local charts are very good here and channel between reef n mainland wide enough but so little visibility at 10+knots is a more than stressfull; danger is moslty from a wooden wreck; we try 2 anchorages on the way to Belep one behind the reef Tiari the other one closed to St Phall island but water was not as clear as we dreamed, a bit logical after all this rain. We continue north with a very successfull fishing party.
