Sailing

Well it's about time for another post. We have been enjoying the summer lately, it's perfect weather here around 25C and sunny. Flavius a friend of mine from Romania is quite keen on sailing as well. He and I have rented a little cat from Mission Bay a couple of times now. It was quite good so far. The last time we went Nora and Casey another friend of mine came with us as well so we rented out 2 cats and did a little racing against each other. The guy who's renting out the cats also has a tornado, but so far we haven't been able to get it, because he either did not bring it when we were there, or he was just by himself, and he only rents it out if he has someone to help him at the beach. Well hopefully we're able to sail it one of these days. Flavius also knows someone from his department who ones a 10m keelboat and is always looking for crew to race on wednesday afternoons, so Flavius took me with him last week. So we did some cool keelboat racing. Fortunatly John, the guy who owns the yacht always looks for people so I think I'll be going regularly from now on. Really looking forward to it! I've also looked at some prices for dinghies on trademe, the NZ version of ebay, just for fun really, I was quite surprised that a laser or say a 29er are actually not that expensive really. You can get a boat like that for around 5000NZD. Not that I can afford 5000 $ atm, apart from a space to actually put the boat, but you gotta have something to dream about.
