Good for swimming anytime from Dec - March. Other months only if you don't mind cold water ;-) |

|  | America's Cup For two defences, Auckland New Zealand was proud holder of yachtings famous America's Cup. The city came alive like at no other time and the racing was held off the beaches near my house so it made for fantastic viewing. It was exciting having friends in other countries watching on TV and seeing a bit of my local landscape. Unfortunately in 2003 we lost the Cup (not that I'm bitter of course,but the Swiss bought all our best sailors!!! ) .
I was lucky enough to get out on a press boat for one of the races. We followed right in behind the boats as they raced - an unforgettable day. |

Hello Daniel! Beautiful opening page. I think I'd prefer swimming from April to November! I didn't really stay in Auckland when in NZ, my flight home left from there. Looks lovely. Happy birthday from Finland! | aussiejen Tue Apr 4, 2006 12:22 UTC
It's been years since I was in Auckland...1971!! Might make it back one day...... In the meantime I'll see you at the BIG Melb Meet in May : ) |
