Quick Updates
- Sailing has started again. The opening regatta for the summer season was held last Saturday. A non-pointscore race, with a pursuit start. Our yacht, being known as fast, was given a crippling 54 minute handicap - in a 2 hour race! Needless to say, we didn’t do very well. Serious racing starts in two weeks time, Friday night twilight racing (for all those friends I’ve promised a ride to) starts in October.
- Business: software development is fun hell. Trying to create an integrated DB system for tracking my accounts, sales, stock, contacts, customers, payments and supplier stock information. Success is not assured. Grey hairs are.
- Motorbike: finally repaired, after 3 months in the workshop. Still being held by Aprilia as we are now in dispute over who should pay. Arguing over who pays for the damage - acceptable wear and tear or fundamental design fault? I say one, they say the other.
- Travel: Had a quick four days in Auckland two weeks ago, for a family birthday party. The Great-Aunt celebrated 95, so all and sundry attended. Nice to see family, also found time to wrangle two sails with boats at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Photos will follow.
