This was the start of the leg of the Whitbred race then begins in Auckland New Zealand and ends in Brazil.
A couple of shot of Mouse Pad waiting for the fleet to get to us. We are in the middle of the Huarache Gulf just outside Auckland Harbor
Mouse Pad is caught up in the fleet and almost becomes part of the race as we are surrounded by the races and spectators.
The fleet bears down on Mouse Pad as she sits in the path of the racers and the oncoming fleet.
The EF boats come to see Mouse Pad.... a little closer than we wanted!
A salvo of photos of the fleet and local races as the jockey for the best place to see the race. I could put comments under each photo but I think you will get the idea when you start opening them up and seeing the mealy and shuffle of boats.
