Labour Weekend

Labour weekend and we managed to get out on the boat for the first time since arriving back in Auckland. We left work early and after a good evening's sail we were anchored in Owhanake Bay with a cold beer in hand just after six. The next day we arrived at a friend's place during a 6th birthday party -not the best timing! A meal later in the evening was a much better idea. We also made use of the nice day to dive on the bottom of the boat. The forecast for Monday was SW 30 which is fairly standard after an Auckland weekend ensuring a beat up the harbour. However, what we acctually got was a N/NE of about 15 and we had a great sail round the back of Rangitoto and got home just before the rain. We tried out our new main, which replaces the old one which you could poke your finger through.
