The next America's cup and boat style
My patient little knitted companion from Ballantynes has just handed me his lettered note, he suggests that wakas could be the next style of boats, held on the River Avon (Kerr's Reach).
with at least two wahine or women crew on each boat. (He is well aware of the effects of racial and sexual discrimation.
If Horseshoe lake was cleaned up, it could be used to moor the boats and again supply spectators the opportunity to see the tight manoeuvring as they practice.
He opines that the winds should not be too much of a problem, and the opportunity for spectators to view would be supreme.
I told him not to hold his breath and suggested that if he wants more alphabet soup he had better let me win the next chess game and if he pulls that 'en passant' again he may find the chess board framed round his neck. Cheers all, pleased we won, and loved the fact there were no dirty tactics or protests like previous.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
