5th April 2009: Sailing on Panmure Lagoon

At their excellent BBQ on the 4th, Claire and Graham invited me to come sailing with them at Panmure Lagoon Sailing Club, a small club in south Auckland.

The people there were friendly, and it's remarkably good value:  NZ$25 to hire a nearly-new Laser. The race that day was up and down the Tamaki river, taking about 2 hours. There wasn't much wind - good for me since I hadn't sailed a Laser for some time.

I did quite well, coming third (out of twelve or so).  My sailing skills aren't too rusty after all! I'll have to go back and see if I can improve.
