No worries. I could say something about lashing you to the backstay so you can't but that could be taken the wrong way by many many people!

15 March the LBYC boat club is holding an orientation rally in Wellington harbour. This family fun, all day event is open to moored yachts, launches and trailer boats.
We are expecting at least 50 boats to enter. Entry is $20 per boat for non members, otherwise free.
What is an Orienteering Rally? The orienteering rally is NOT a race. It is based on the sport of orienteering. No screaming skippers allowed; but kids and dogs welcome.
Each entrant is provided with a unique set of instructions. These include a list of tasks that must be performed during the voyage. Plus some nautical questions. Crews negotiate their individual course within Wellington Harbour based on their interpretation of the instructions, and attempt to complete all tasks and answer the questions. Each boat will undertake a voyage of about 20 miles.
Entrants need to visit the LBYC clubrooms for their set of instructions between 9:30 and 10:30 on the day. Entrants can start at any time they prefer once they have their instructions.
But all boats must return to LBYC Clubhouse at Seaview Marina, with their task list and answers, by 5:30pm. Following there will be a byo BBQ and prize giving.
The only things needed are a chart of Wellington harbour and lunch for everyone on the boat, plus food for the BBQ.

Good stuff. Have sent a txt. Weather looking great at 10knot winds and 23 degrees, so best prepare for Howling southerly and 11 degrees!
Flying a Nix flag might be appropriate if anyone has one?

That's what I call a great day out. Thanks Jeff an awesome way to to spend a day after a great win.
That was so relaxing and the dolphin encounter topped it off to perfection. Although the run was hardish, not as bad as the swim around the yacht. And I saw Peter Jacksons place too!
Oh and fellow Nix fans, we did a rendition of "Welly Welly Wellyo" and "we are top of the league" on Channel 62 (?)

I forgot to tell you guys, whilst jogging, several people whom I passed made comments about our awesome win last night and that they were pleased and I should be recovering from celebrating. Was good to see people noticed the result around by Worser Bay.
A couple more, dolphins one by Andy (Lonegunmen)
and
I put a whole pile plus videos up on my facebook page. If that Doompost person wants to get in touch, please do so.
Either working 2-10's or on B/L. Still awaiting news on Uncle in Rotovegas. Hopefully after Sunday. Wife didn't want to tempt fate, go up, see him, come back and then have to go up again. Hence I made it last Friday.
