5am and an early alarm.

Pouring outside in Tauranga but fingers crossed.

Over the hill and not too bad in the Waikato..

7.30am hit the Auckland motorway crawl and an hour later pulled up in the north shore at Smales Quary.

10am the rain stopped, and all the local Clubs IOMs rocked up.

We started with a drifter before the wind picked over the next couple of hours up to the Top end of A. Bottom of B.

Great racing with plenty of wind shifts and duck dives and races.

Awesome sailing. Thanks to the team.
