Good Day For New Zealand In Sport

Cold start but warmed up nicely by lunchtime. Watched the Americas Cup Challenger finals – the last three races or fewer, depending on which boat was first to get five wins. The first race was pretty even in very light winds, so light that the race was eventually called off. An hour or so later the wind returned and the kiwi boat did a pretty much perfect race, beating the Swedish contender handsomely, making it the 2017 contender racing Oracle for the Americas Cup next week.

Bangle – orchard – apple.

Spent the afternoon completing the wires for the replacement fence (see photo below).

This evening the UK Lions played the Highlanders (Dunedin-based super-rugby team) and … the Highlanders won a very even and exciting match.
