SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR BLUFF HARBOUR.

Vessels bound to Bluff Harbour from the westward, during westerly winds, should steer for Look-out Point, and haul round within two cables’ length of the shore, under easy sail, having all fore and aft sails ready for setting, the sheets over to starboard, both anchors clear, with buoys and buoy ropes attached, and thirty fathoms range overhauled on each cable. In moderate weather the Pilot will board off Look-out Point; but should it be blowing hard he may not be able to get from under lee of the land. In this case the vessel’s way should be deadened as much as possible by bracing-by the yards to allow the boat to get alongside, as there is not room between the Sand-spit and the shore for a large vessel to round to. Should the Pilot not be able to board, steer to pass about a cable’s length and a half off Sterling Point, and bring up about two cables’ length north of it, and nearly the same distance off the western shore abreast of a large rock on the beach, with a white patch on it, in from 5 to 7 fathoms good holding ground. Strangers should not go further in than this without a Pilot.

Vessels from the eastward should steer for the sandy point about three miles to the eastward of the Harbor, till within half a mile of the shore, (which is bold to within a cable’s length); then steer about W. by N., along the shore keeping the same distance off till near Te Waewae’s rock, off which the Pilot will board when practicable; should he not be able to board, keep the shore of Te Waewae’s Point on board within a cable’s length, till it bears north; then steer N.W. by W. ¼ W. for the red buoy on the east end of the sandspit, keeping it on with the remarkable sand patch at head of the bay) which leave half a cable’s length on either hand, according to which arm of the harbour you intend bringing up in.

Vessels from the eastward, taking the passage between Dog Island and the sands, should give Dog Island half a mile berth, and steer about west for Look-out Point till the flagstaff on Sterling Point bears north; then steer in as before directed.

In event of a vessel having to run in during a strong south-east gale, when it might be impossible for the Pilot to put off, steer for Sterling Point, as before directed—from thence N.W. by N.¼N. for the western part of Te Waewae’s Point till within a cable’s length, then steer N.W. by W.¼W. for the red buoy as before mentioned, and leave it half a cable’s
