Gore Bay.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
No. 3 of 1878.
Customs Department (Marine Branch),
Wellington, 6th February, 1878.
THE following report, by Captain Johnson of this
department, containing sailing directions for
Gore Bay, is published for general information.
J. BALLANCE.

Marine Office,
Wellington, 6th February, 1878.
SIR, A single anchor mooring for a 200-ton vessel
has been laid in Gore Bay, about 400 yards from
shore, and right opposite the new landing slip, in 3
fathoms water, sheltered from all winds except from
North to East, which blow right in, but seldom with
great violence. Sailing vessels, if caught in such
weather, will not be able to beat out from the
mooring, and are advised to use their anchors in
addition to the mooring. The boating establishment,
when completed, will be very efficient, and with a
vessel at the mooring great despatch in loading and
discharging will be insured.

Vessels bound to Gore Bay will find no difficulty
in making out the landing-place, which is situated
immediately within the south side of the entrance.
It should be brought to bear S.W. by W. when
about two miles from shore, then steer straight in;
and should the vessel be large she should anchor in
convenient depth until a boat comes off. Seaward of
mooring the anchorage is open to the S.E., but from
here a vessel can get under weigh with the wind in.
I have, &c.,
R. JOHNSON.

The Secretary of Customs,
(Marine Branch,) Wellington.
