Yesterday we went sailing on our boat, Peace. Some friends of Mum's who she hasn't seen for 20 years came up to see us and we made a day of it. Peace is a mullet boat, in the old days they were used to catch mullet fish which explains why she is so wide and tubby. There is a yearly race for mullet boats in NZ the cup of which, the Lipton Cup, is as big as the one for the Americas Cup boats. Peace one the cup one year before we owned her and when she was called Controversy.
Isn't she a beauty. We've had some good times on that boat.
We had no wind and no motor, a friend of Dads we met out in the harbour towed us home.
