I had never been there, and I didn't have a map. But the afternoon was young. I reached the freeway. West was home, east was adventure. I drove east.
Auckland windsurfers are planning a challenge to sail from Takapuna to Great Barrier Island to raise funds for the Cancer Society. Sometime in September (weather permitting) 3 sailors will attempt the approximately 60 nautical miles (110km) journey. Anyone wishing to sponsor, donate or find out more should contact Tim on 09 4158885 (Monday - Friday from 8am - 4.30pm).
Among New Zealand’s hottest medal prospects is reigning Olympic Champion in men’s board sailing, Tom Ashley who won silver earlier this year at Princess Sofia Regatta in Mallorca, Spain. Jon-Paul Tobin, Stephanie Williams, Alice Monk and Natalia Kosinskawill also be competing in the RS:X windsurfing class
