Tom bought himself a boat a while back. And we thought we would take it for a whirl round the harbour. A nice little 24ft vessel called JAFTICA (Just Another F******* Toy I Can't Afford!!!).
Anyway, we managed to pick a lovely day for a sail. It was chucking it down as per the norm on an Auckland afternoon in August. But fun was had by all. Even though we were against the tide it was nice to get out and about.
Captain Dr. Tom at the helm.
And in the words of Ratty from Wind in the Willows - 'Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats'.
Needless to say i have started saving for my own boat.
