_________________________ DELIVERY TRIP _________________________

 Mains'l well reefed as Sail Rock with Taranga Island to port slide past - three quarters of the distance completed.

Today I arrived back from a hair raising (and spray drenched) three day delivery trip from Auckland to Tutukaka in Northland New Zealand. I was crewing for my good mate David who is now the proud owner of a Paul Whiting designed 'Whiting 29' class sloop. It was an interesting and sobering experience (despite a bottle of rum etc that was consumed). More of the trip on my next posting.............................
