Wow, thanks for all that info, you know more than I do. I had no idea that a wind farm was being built a way down there.
That's quite a trip from Auckland.
I am interested in the number, as we have been told there are 80 blades coming, that doesn't divide into 28 turbines.
I had a look at the unloading tonight. Some of the masts are out of the vessel, and they are huge. Two have been loaded on to the multi axle trailers.
But the most interesting thing is that the ships appears to have bought a huge crane as well.
There are lots of latice booms on the wharf which are obviously part of a crane, and they are also huge.
No sign yet of the crane body, but I'll keep you all posted.

No photos today, sorry, I was too busy when the sun was out and only got down there when it was dark.
