Interesting to note that the annual Ocean swim leads the punters straight past and close to the new Auckland city sewer outlet at the end of Beaumont st, I hope for their sake we dont have much rain next week or another collapse in Parnell.

Navy man speaking with forked tongue on the wireless this morning -when asked directly if the Diesel was leaking said it was contained-which is broadly true - except for the streams of it pouring out the breathers which has been filmed now !!

ETNZ v fast in a straight line, Ineos good at starting and slapping a cover on should be interesting ...

Interesting bit of spin the Squadron took part in for Emirates Team Dalton over the last month -taking an Americas cup around the country on a road trip to try and convince the locals that this was a national sporting side not just a private company set up for pecuniary reasons primarily. Still friends on the trip had a whale of a time ....

Too far away , I gave you characters the best lookout last year-The Cyril Bassett VC lookout unbeatable view, but not much room for a mob.

Not entirely accurate either

The BYOB fees are extraordinary , since I believe Christchurch was free, though they are offering access inside the exclusion zone , and your proximity to the course looks a lot closer than Chch. Still land based with the big screens etc and sleeping on my boat looks the best bet.

Please no.....

Whangarei seems to have a few, remember the air prop powered cat

Todd Niall's reporting from Barcelona seems very sound and calm.

Yes not sure what they are doing in the Louis Vuitton , though I guess now they wont be for a bit.

Sorry I mean the same Architect, they definitely have a stability book that they live by.

Yes I thought M5 was taller , by another Kiwi naval architect.

You have to take these internet talk show people with a grain of salt, that yacht report guy last week showed the security footage from our Westhaven event and said that there was someone inside the cat the flew backwards over the Marina !

Thats the same local fisherman -who said she had lost a mast -I saw that interview. The two big boats anchored near her were spun about and anchor dragged but that was all, much like the Westhaven event ie extremely local and impossible to predict.
