"We have some 30 Bay Balls in the water now, randomly distributed in a fairly tight area of approximately 20m by 20m. One or two will be broken as our concrete mix was not up to specs, but we deployed 6 off the rafts and divers found four the next day in very murky conditions but none had broken. On the strength of this we deployed the remainder of 26 bayballs using two tow boats and four rafts. Divers have yet to go down and right any balls on their sides as weather has been extremely bad. On Saturday 21 we plan on deploying the remaining four reefballs at a ceremonial day at Opape. Most likely Te Karere News will be present, and Trevor Good from Skill New Zealand, our Course funders."
