We’ve been having horrid weather not sure what has occurred here but the vessel required assistance from The Fire brigade take at Paihia

[Heather]

The grey choppy sea sure looks uninviting- not a day to be outside!

[Judith Johnson]

It does look very choppy

[Joan Robillard]

Goo capture

[Wendy Stout]

Stormy sea and wind. Hope they were able to salvage the boat from damage.

I don’t know outcome but was being held by the Fire brigade with ropes to prevent any damage or further damage.

[Babs]

Oops, looks as though it is beached. Could be expensive.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Are you in the Bay of Islands Dawn? I heard about this catamaran washing ashore - so stormy. I also heard that the Gables in Russell lost its roof!

[Pat]

Oh dear, that sea looks proper rough. A terrific capture of the stormy sea.

[Kathy]

A frightening scene. Thank goodness to the men and women who put their own lives at risk to help out people in peril.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Thanking you all for stopping in your kind comments and favs so much appreciated
Any thing do with boats is expensive there is a saying it’s a hole in which you pour money my first hubby God rest his soul and self lived on a yacht so know just what it like .
Delwyn I live in Okaihau we went for a drive yesterday and happened soon this scene
The sea was rough but but raining heavily so didn’t use my camera .

[Diane]

Your photo shows well the ominous sea and sky. I laughed at your saying about boats. When my sons were in high school, we owned a small boat so they could go fishing, but small as it was, it still was a constant expense! Now my older son owns 2 fishing boats, but I don't have to worry about the expense!

[Diana]

Such a great story telling capture, that ocean sure looks a bit on the wild side!

[Kathy A]

That sea certainly looks rough

[Dawn]

@eudora Thanks Dianne I guess it’s a case of what goes round comes round
@ludwigsdiana Thanking you Diana
Yes it was rough glad I was on terra firma

@kjarn Thanks Kathy

[haskar]

Great stormy capture. Everything is in order on board. I think the anchor dragging and there were no people there.

[Yao RL]

Hope it is clammed down.

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks like the boat has cut its moorings . I hope they managed to save it. Great shot - would make a hit on a newspaper accompanied with an article on what went on.

[Hazel]

Oh gosh, a good shot showing the inclement weather!

[Dawn]

@haskar Thanks Haskar by time we got there the owners I guess were on board and vessel safe to prevent any damage or further damage

@sangwann Thanks Dione yes it was on tonight’s TV news

[Dawn]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel yes not too bad if it wasn’t raining I’d have used my camera rather than cellphone

[Sally Ings]

Does not look very pleasant out there. Hopefully the catamaran didn't suffer to much damage.

[Dawn]

@salza I agree , thanking you Sally

[Dixie Goode]

That looks like a scene that could be taken right here in my hometown. Hope everyone was ok.

[Leslie]

hope they are okay

[carol white]

Great capture of a stormy sea

[Margaret Brown]

It looks like many hands! Nice capture, hope it all went well
