Tarawera revisited

The Ngaroto Boat Club organized an outing to Lake Tarawera in 2008. Three trailer yachts and six dinghies made the trip. The owners of the trailer yachts slept in sleeping bags on board their yachts. The dinghy sailors lived in tents on site at Linda's batch. Some younger members shared the bach with Linda's mum. It was a 2 nights 3 days outing which included a race to Hot Water Beach on the first day and a combined regatta, on the second day.

We rafted the trailer yachts at the jetty behind Linda's bach, spending the nights on board, using the kitchen and toilet facility of the bach. We enjoyed a barbecue dinner in the evening. Some energetic members tried the jet ski and some others used the kayaks.
