KAIPARA HARBOUR ENTRANCE.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 26th October, 1910.

MASTERS of vessels are warned not to attempt to
cross the Kaipara Bar south of line of beacons on
the North Head, so as to avoid heavy seas breaking on north-
west end of South Shoal immediately southward of line
of beacons. At present the best mark for keeping in the
channel is to keep the lower beacon in line with the flag-
staff when on the bar, gradually bringing the beacons in
line as the North Spit is neared, and when abreast of this
spit they should be in one.
Charts, &c., affected : Admiralty Charts Nos. 1212,
2543, and 2614; “New Zealand Pilot,” eighth edition,
1908, Chapter vii, page 207; “New Zealand Nautical
Almanac,” 1910, page 167.
