Marty: I build PC's and stuff, quite capable of opening up the mount panel. I need to tighten up the controller port screws anyway so that's on the plan tonight. It has only had a few splashes on the side, the scope was above it so I am not anticipating any problems and the hand controller was tucked away as well. Just keeping fingers crossed
Rolf: I thought of you up in the Waitaks. Glad to hear you didn't take any damage to your setup. Power etc is a nuisance but at least the power companies responsibility. Yeh, roads were really trashed. Trees down in Ponsonby across the side road by the old Post Office building ( now Three Lamps Bar ) and down College Hill in the Hospice grounds.
Few boats broken free of moorings as well. Could have been worse though.
