The Round Rangitoto Race With MaxSea
Two of the wonderful things about being based in Auckland for the summer are the very active race scene here, and all the beautiful islands in close proximity to the city. We took advantage of both last Saturday and participated … Continue reading

Back in the First World (Auckland)
