Whangarei Harbour, one of the places where I sail 'Slipstream'. Onerahi Yacht Club is out of the picture on the right. The Whangarei Cruising Clubs (WCC) second site at Parua Bay is to the left.
Things are looking up on the Zephyr sailing front. Tomorrow I sail in the second race of a 7 race series at my yacht clubs Parua Bay site. So I am now sailing twice a week. Tuesday evenings at the OYC (Onerahi Yacht Club) and Saturdays at my own club the WCC. As a member of the ZOA (Zephyr Owners Association) I have the opportunity of taking 'Slipstream' down to race at various Auckland yacht club venues. All this sailing practise will be put to good use when I race at the NZ Zephyr Nationals next year.
For me, sailing really is pure joy.

Since last December I know the area now. Love it. Good luck!
I envy you. If you miss the weight goal eventually, you can always become a bad weather sailor with excellent performance :-)
Yes Ben, you know the area well, even sailing it with me on Mariner a few years ago as well as recently staying out on the coast (top left in the photo).
I am really working hard on my weight at the moment, wanting to be more of an all weather sailor rather than just someone who does well only when racing during hurricanes : > ) !!
