Hey guys,
What a weekend weather wise. Pefect for the regatta on Monday!
I trundle down to the Viaduct for a look around, take some photos, and what happens, the battery in the camera goes down! Too far to travel home to charge it so please mind the shear lack of photos this time around!
Anyhow, the bridge to the other side on Syndicate Row is up and running, accessed from the far southern corner of Te Whero Island.
The atmosphere in the air down there is electric with people running around, team members from all sorts of teams there getting rushed out to the boats in the ETNZ tenders.
Cannot wait for the racing to start this Saturday!
There is an awesome article on the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series website too of how relaxed and chilled the event has become, before it has even started. No secrets, just good sailing, good times, good people, good weather.
Everyone is enjoying themselves, meaning all the teams, having the ritual kiwi Friday Night BBQ at the ETNZ base, having a good talk with each other, friends from way back working for different syndicates, the barriers broken down, everyone getting along, talking again, like mates, or civilized human beings. So far from the whole saga of the sad Americas Cup, the way it has been treated since it left our shores. This makes me more determind to see the cup come back here and stay the way It should.
