Yesterday Down Under.

Here in Auckland our Omicron outbreak was like waiting for an impeding Cyclone. Calm but with impending storm clouds. After a period of low and stable case numbers the anticipated deterioration of conditions is now underway.

Mirroring the anticipated arrival tomorrow of an actual cyclone due to make landfall very close tomorrow.

We are in the middle of our annual Classic Yacht Regatta which in normal times we would welcome a contingent of Australian Classic Yacht sailors.

I put my name down to crew Waitangi  for the Friday afternoon race and Sunday only, not the two Saturday races.

As it was a work day, we were down to eleven crew, very largely female, in fact midships, and foredeck was, bar one, entirely female.

Cockpit and aft, a male preserve.

Hot 24C and very humid 15 knots at the start, 25knots, gusting 30 at the finish.

With the cyclone storm warning 50knots gusting 60knots  on Auckland Harbour tomorrow, I am certain that was all my sailing for the weekend

The paving stones around the inner dock have a mixture of public information, images of old directories of Leeds, lists of occupiers / users of the Dock and indications of where historic equipment once stood, all as a public art project.
