Okay, so it wasn't a three-hour tour. It was more like two hours. But it was a lot of fun. I went sailing on a racing yacht, NZL 41, that actually competed in the America's Cup. It wasn't merely a sightseeing tour--we were put to work on the grinders to raise and trim the sails, and I also conned the boat for a while. Weather was a balmy 75 degrees, sunny and windy. Perfect sailing weather. That's Auckland in the background of the last photo. That's me, slathered in SPF 55, and an SPF 1,000,000 USMC boonie cover to protect my ears and neck. Isn't my hat great?
