Friday was spent booking our trip on the America's Cup boat and having a chill out day with a bit of lunch, the most enormous ice cream you have ever seen and sitting relaxing on the sea front in the sun.
Saturday found us down at the fish market chosing our supper for Sunday. It was to be a red snapper cooked by Peter in wet newspaper on the barbeque. A bit of lunch and then it was on to the boat, the NZL41 which was built for the America's Cup in 1995. Being a novice I wondered where we would sit and was told there aren't any seats in these boats as you are constantly on the move. It was an ideal sailing day and we were soon off and away across the bay. Pete and Harry both had a turn at 'driving' the boat, and Sarina, David and Harry all had a turn at grinding. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Pete and I didn't even mind when we were swamped on our side of the boat by the swell from a passing boat.
We finished the day with a trip to Parnell to an Indian restaurant for dinner and all agreed what a gloroius day it had been.
