Living in The City of Sails, there can't be a better time for us to learn to sail. On Saturday morning, we boarded the French Connection, a 32 foot Beneteau with our friends Mascha and Jeroen for Practical Yachting, a ten hour, on the water course.
On our first day we learned the parts of the yacht, ropework (including several necessary knots), the rules of the road, and then we were off sailing! We had a mix of weather including sun, rain, no wind and lots of wind so we wore all sorts of sailing gear.
Our second day was to include more sailing and practicing rescuing a man overboard, but the winds today were at 40 knots, so our final lesson has been postponed until next weekend. We look forward to becoming certified beginner sailors!

Doesn't wearing an "I love NZ" shirt automatically brand you as a tourist?
