No Flight Rest Day, Nelson
Everyone took full advantage on our rest day in Nelson with Ed, Lyle and I taking a day-long bus tour of local scenic attractions, and Stuart and Chuck (who partook in some sea kayaking yesterday) deciding to emphasize the "rest" portion of the day and stay at the hotel and peruse downtown Nelson.
The tour included stops at Kaiteriteri beach, views of Abel Tasman National Park, a stop at Hoglund Art Glass Studios, and even a quick stop and taste test at a local vineyard. The day was full of outdoor activities and even included a picnic in the grass, something none of us had done recently.
At the end of the day, we straightened out with race officials some questionable penalty points we accrued recently turns out they has mistakenly inputted our time into their computer. With that all straightened out, we should be back on track to be near the top in the precision class again. With luck and weather, we continue on tomorrow morning, taking us further south and one step closer to the finish at Queenstown.
