Summerized Nov 22, 10:23

Halsey St side of our temporary "winter" (summer in NZL) team base in Auckland, the former base of Team New Zealand (see earlier post with the new lay of the land). There is no truth to the rumour that Henri Lloyd have issued the crew with spiffy, new "summer white" naval uniforms.

The south side of the base that you first see when driving up Halsey St from Fanshawe St.

The waterside, showing one of our ACC yachts in the south boat shed. The MSC container (nice that Guthrie patronized a Shosholoza sponsor) was one of several that came from VLC with team gear.

Shore team members are readying our ACC yacht for the December sailing session.

Ready-made sail loft.

Sailmaker Dave "Little Dave" Little (NZL), not to be confused with his boss and head BMWOR sailmaker, big Dave "Duffy" Duff.
Thanks to our old friend and media maven, Ivor Wilkins (NZL), for the nice photos in this post.
