A Winter Day in Auckland

[Lord Farringdon]

Took these photo's on an overnight trip to downtown Auckland a few weeks back. Thought I'd share them because: 1. We all like photos, 2. We all like days on the water like this and, 3. It justifies why we spend so much freaking money a plastic boat. :grin: Hope you enjoy.

Westhaven Marina with Auckland CBD in the background.

The Admiral being.....well...the Admiral!

Yours truly pretending that everything is under control. The deckhand appears to have left some ropes about for the skipper to attend to. I think I'll shangai my next crew!!

Auckland waterfront.

The fuel dock at our home marina Gulf Harbour 40 mins plane just north of Auckland. The flags are showing support for our team during the Rugby World Cup currently being held in New Zealand.

Hmmm...no one said anything about this!!:smt021

Terry,
Great pics, tanks for sharing.
Having the boat year round on the water and doing some occasional trips in winter justifies the cost of yearly operation.
Your KADzilla seems as new as just came out from factory.
Hope you a warm winter and calm seas for enjoying your boat.

Hi Terry,
Yes we had a great summer this year including day trips and long cruises.
My Pentator never dissapointed me this year except fouled props, when they are cleaned she runs perfects.

Love the pics, I was wondering why everything is upside down and backwards?

Terry, thanks for sharing the pics. It's always nice to see where other people do their boating.

Great to see pictures of NZ, we lived /based out of Gulf Harbour in 1993/1994 after we sailed across the Pacific. We hope to get back down there again in the future. NZ is a truly amazing and magical place. I have NEVER see a population so into boats as New Zealand!
Keep posting those pics,
Cheers
