America's cup

Kiwiland has been obsessed by the America's cup during my visit. It was won by the American team, but New Zealanders will be able to lick their wounds in relative privacy because hardly anyone else was watching. A former teammate has now written a letter of congratulations to the kiwi team. A great letter. The kiwi boat and everything but the hull of the American boat were made in NZ, so it was a win for the country despite the final loss.

Addendum: Hmmm, then there is this ... how money buys a boat race.
