Lagoon Bay Mahurangi RAID

[@onehanger]

Another Ross masterpiece, well done dude. Alan here, sorry I couldn't bring the Goat I was helping at a regatta. Next year!

[@rossbarnett3759]

yea I was hoping you would come to be honest. The Goat was missed this time. Maybe the Auckland Anniversary 27th 28th 29th Jan at the Mahurangi Classic Boat Festival. thanks for your comment.

that's GOLD - right there -❤

We gotta do an expedition next year and get some spectacular drone footage. Thanks Steve.

Thanks Ross, this was the first Raid I've been to. It was worth it just for the silky smooth coffee. I'll be back next year, but with a sailboat of some kind. I live close to the Mahurangi, and I kayak in it often. It is truly a Taonga for sure foreshore

[@rossbarnett3759]

Heck good to hear this RAID inspired you to get a sail boat. I wonder what type of boat you are thinking about. There are some great buys these days. I suppose it all comes down to what kind of use are you going to use the boat for.

very glad the trophy cabinet made it in! also the coffee really was quite good! where did you get that recipie?

[@rossbarnett3759]

Ha that trophy cabinet was classic. I lightened the pic to see the the holes in the back. A mate Laurie was to do the coffee and to be honest, it was a total experiment.

@@rossbarnett3759 Great video of good memories - you organised a fantastic event Ross! Kudos!! Any chance you can post the coffee process on here? I think it was coffee into cold water, bring to the boil, boil gently 4 mins, cup of cold water - a bit into the spout & the rest swirled into the pot, stand for 30s-1min… pour and enjoy. Is that about right? …now when’s the next one?! 🤓

@@Stobb0 oh I better make a video of how to make cowboy coffee in more depth. ha. Its pretty simple. You simmer coffee for 4min then wait another 2min then pour a cup of cold water part down the spout and then mostly around in the top of the pot. Its gotta be a proper coffee pot cone-shaped and with a lid. The cold water sinks to the bottom taking all the coffee grounds there as well. It actually works if done right and is a great way to have several people around for the occasion morning coffee together on the beach for example.

@ that’s just exactly what i needed to know - i am now on the hunt for the right pot too 😁
