  1. Drop by anytime. And I have nothing but the highest praise for our public health system and everyone who works within it.
  2. I used to drive the Morris minor to school with a Cherokee on a trailer, then disappear at lunchtime.

  4. Time flies. During covid we did a lap of the north island, and somewhere else in there I did a 3 month leisurely cruise to the Far North. Most years I'll do one or two deliveries, most recently Gizo-Cairns-Brisbane. Plus I had my first ever health issue which slowed me down for about 18 months. ( all good now). I'll look for some photos.
  5. I'm not that excited about it anymore, but I don't get the fixation on Olympics. I think our youth would be better served by a wide ranging, affordable, inclusive program to get kids out on the water.
  6. In San Francisco we would head up the Delta for a few days and come back clean.
  7. Tight finish in about 1 hr between colman and le Cam
  8. An argument against trailer boats. Gulf harbour ramp around 4.15 today
  9. A blatant plug for Angela Across the road from Weiti Boating Club. https://www.barfoot.co.nz/property/residential/rodney-district/arkles-bay/house/905131
  10. Actually that sounds closer. Boats were swapping position but generally someone making a cock up rather than the passing boat being brilliant.
  11. Well, they started last and passed the tail enders.
  12. And the race's are really short in a very confined space = no options for passing.
  13. Yep I tack a 60ft schooner single handed like that. Easy Easy.
  14. Go racing for 120k or go racing for 10k?
  15. 120k for a moth? Anyone know how much the new cherubs cost?
  16. In terms of the health of the sport I think ynz should be looking at getting kids sailing. Full stop. When a 35 yo male who is one of our best medal prospects tells me it "just isn't worth it" and " I can't afford to sail anymore ( lasers ffs)". Then Houston we have problem. Maybe forget about then next 2 or 3 olympic cycles ( who cares anyway) and start building huge fleets of firebug or the oz goose , maybe working with schools. There's plenty of advantages to teaching kids to sail besides winning a gong.

  18. I replaced the filter as part of the process, was planning to give it a few hours runn8ng then do it again. Running engine and watermaker at present and smooth as.
