Black Panther

Snuck up the river on the last of the rising tide to our new home only half mile from the house. Now to get some jobs done. Nice view.

And it has been cold

I don't think you can separate sport and politics these days. The boycott against apartheid SA had an impact, this might too. Similarly we have recently been subjected to JK fawning over the All Blacks. Nope, I think the two are inextricably mixed.

So I'm at westthaven and have to get her into race mode. It's been a few years. Do you tow the dinghy or put it in the Davits? Bimini up or Bimini down?

Back to the islands! Wal has just been promoted to navigator, Karl is back in the barrel.

Hi Taylor The boat will be at the mast gantry at Westhaven (end of the breakwater where all the YCs are) from about early afternoon, turn up no later than five. As the owner I'm not supplying food or drink, but if nobody brings anything I don't care either. There are $10? meals at the YC after plus cheap drinks.

That's why I need a navigator. Hard to follow from in front????

Hi Taylor. If you don't get a better offer we always have room

We need some late entries to push it over 60! Would it help if I told you I knew of three pregnancies and one marriage as result of the crew.org rum race?

Hey Karl. You're the navigator. Problem solved.

Wal and Karl. They have moved me to the most gantry by A

Is there a picture on line somewhere that shows where those marks are?

Thanks, I have sent him the contact details

Just got an email saying again he has to sell it. If anyone knows nzrat tell him to call me

Apparently it is all there. Otherwise I don't know much. When I saw it it was wrapped in a canvas cover and hanging above my head. Must sell so happy to pass on contact details if you are interested. Text or call me 021760621

So. You put your toothbrush in the sink next to the loo. It disappears down the plughole before you can grab it. Do you A. Use the spare and leave it where it is B. Disconnect the exit hose at the through hull and fish it out. If B do you throw it away even though the sink empties into the toilet intake not discharge. Or give it a rinse then finish cleaning your teeth since it is only connected to the intake not the discharge. I need to resolve this quickly.

That would be like insider trading

Is anyone brave enough to run a book?

I've no idea how that happened

Oh yeah

I know of a javelin for sale. Built by and owned by John Spencer. Now hanging from the roof of a barn up north

I will have the boat at whip so it is available. If interested call me as I am out sailing. 021 760 621

Our boat has a dishwasher - me.

I am going to be on the end tie Y pier, I don't care if you raft up long enough to load and unload, don't know what the marina management would have to say about it.

That I can sympathise with. Have a look at IT's airhead - problem solved (if he's out of stock I have one and I can wait for the next shipment).
