Auckland, New Zealand

For many years we have been wanting to go to the racing in Christchurch, New Zealand. It clearly was not meant to be as this year we were all booked to visit when that terrible earthquake struck.

The races were relocated to Auckland, and at a rather last minute we were able to reschedule everything to head to Auckland instead.

Arriving just before midnight on Thursday 7 April we landed in a dark city with pouring rain.

On waking we found ourselves on the water with blue sunshine!

Lovely boat!

From the deck of the hotel you could get straight into your boat!
