Opher, good to hear from someone actually living there! Were those Inter 20 pictures posted a couple months back yours? It looked like a nice place to sail.
As for the sailors, this thread was initialy titled Politics, so if you only want to talk about sailing, go to another thread! We are here to talk politics.
So, what's up with New Zealand these days anyways??? Can an American still get a beer there or do they hate us too?
