Napier Wine Tour

Skipping the winery tour is not an option for any SSANZ aficionado, it is a tradition well worth participating in, with the cut and thrust of competing crews and supporters trying to cause as much carnage to opposition crew preparations as possible. This years was bit more tame than our previous two trips on the bus, probably because Tim and Rodney weren't around to egg us on. We did take a few precautions like some water crackers and cheese with us (yes I'm aware eating's cheating, but this yacht racing not cricket).

We visited Moana Park, Brookfields and for a change The Filter Room. Needless to say we took as many free samples as we could of anything and everything. The bus even delivered us directly to the thirsty whale for addition imbibing under the sun umbrellas on their deck at the end of the tour.
No photos as we know the rules "what happens on tour stays on tour".

We had to do some car shuffling to get us back to our home base, but we were all intact and managed to only drink three further bottles of the stuff we bought while having a barbie for dinner.
