Just One More Race...

Well done Oracle on making such an amazing comeback. They sure have found a turbo boost of speed and have now won 6 races on the trot.

The America's Cup now stands at 8 races each with the deciding race tomorrow. This is just too exciting!

Our guests from Israel are somewhat bemused that a nation would stop for 2 hours to watch. Then I tried explaining the red socks we are wearing in support of Team New Zealand.

So by this time tomorrow there will be one winner.... watch this space.

And we're back....

My, how quickly our months off went by , but here we go again, season #16.

During August we spent a couple of delightful weeks in Hawaii enjoying sun, surf, shopping, but mostly relaxation.

We flew on Hawaiian Airlines which was a great experience. The crew were extremely friendly and the aircraft was comfortable and modern.

It is so good to see another airline traveling trans Pacific and will add much needed availability out of the USA.

So, after our break away we returned refreshed and ready, BUT, somewhere, someone  gave us a most horrid virus and we have had The Springs in lockdown and we finally open on Sunday, just 3 weeks late!

Apologies  to those folk we had to relocate, but needs must.
