Ok I now have our accommodation booked. It was less costly than what I first anticipated, we are however going to be staying about 20 minutes north of the competition base. The good news is that we will be sleeping 500m from the legendary Houhora wharf! I guess there will be a bit of "brandy and baitcatching at night"!
We are staying at Pukenui Holiday Park. The powered tent sites are costing us $13pp per night, in other words, $78 per person. I have paid the $100 deposit. Please note now that this place does not have eftpos, and we need a caravan plug to access the power grid. I will actually inform them that we will rent one of theirs @ $20 for the week. We will have to pay a $150 bond for it.
Ok now to the 4th team member status. Damo is at this stage trying to arrange his life in order to get a week long fishing pass. I think he has a 50/50 chance of going, not due to a lack of commitment, but more because of over commitment! (to fishing!) A request of interest has also been sent to Luan as the possible final member.
As far as gear is concerned, yours truly has found a great little sinker shop that sells break out sinkers at around $25 for 10 in your choice of weight. We can place an order together to keep the freight down if anyone is interested.
