Wine Trail

safe in our warm accomdation in Napier, out of the wind and rain, currently having a few largers...

This years wine trail, once again a was a game of cat and mouse, with me and Bill, the Expedition Coppelia support crew trying out fox team surreal in attempting to see who could inflict the worse hangover on the opposition. It does make for quite a fun outing. The result, a draw. The wine and food was all good, as the bus driver had another job in the late afternoon only a couple of extra bottles and the odd food platter got consumed between stops on the way around so all were returned safely to the yacht club.

The race restart has been delayed till Wednesday evening so everyone gets a sleep in anyway.

The Mira however has suffered its first breakdown, we got a flat tire overnight. This caused much comment on wheel barrows, roller skates and prams as the Mira has a space saver spare we looked quite funny too. Fortunately Napier is a big town with a plethora of tire shops so the tire was quickly repaired.
