Weather Wise Boat Wise.

It happens every Christmas holidays, a boatie gets into trouble trying to retrieve their boat back onto the trailer.
In the entire Lake Taupo Pukawa has the most difficult ramp in rough conditions. Once the wind gets up it causes waves and because of the steep slope of the ramp the boat being retrieved has the stern low to the water which permits water to enter from every wave.
If the weather report predicts north easterly, easterly or south easterly winds heed  the warning and if you are caught out, the Omori ramp nearly always makes a safe haven.
More than one boatie in the month of January had an experience at the ramp that they will long remember.
