Fiji through the eyes of Squealer
Those Squealer guys and gals really do make us laugh. Here is how they saw ANZ Sail Fiji.
Django v. Squealer – It’s a Wrap
So a few days after finishing I think I've got my breath back enough to write a final update for the #anzsailfiji race. Who remembers the 1995 Rugby World Cup Semi-Final between the All Blacks and England? The one where Jonah Lomu ran rampant right through the whole team and scored four tries, including that most memorable [...]
Squealer – As happy as a pig in mud
Squealer has pipped Django on the line to get them by 10 seconds!!! Awesome effort by this rowdy bunch from Tauranga. Nice work Squealer! We're all impressed. Now... have you found the rodent?
A rumble in the Pacific. Squealer v. Django
Just in from Squealer! I guess it had to happen this way. It has been almost 9 months since I sent Andrew (Reid, skipper Django) a picture of Squealer's bow and suggested that he have a good look at it as it would be that last time he would see it in the upcoming Fiji [...]
Update from Squealer
Remember going to the movies when you were younger, and the naughty kids would throw their half sucked Jaffa's at the screen, where they would stick, then slowly roll down the screen leaving a red trail? Well, if I wasn't brought up so well, I could throw my Chupa Chup at them right now and [...]
Django & Squealer within sight of each other!
We can see Squeaker!! Oops, we mean, Squealer! Wind back in now, messy morning with light winds. Everyone in high spirits just put "Thunderstruck" on the stereo LOUD! AJ Django
Update from Squealer
After a night filled with clouds and wind holes Squealer now has a good breeze and is making tracks towards a round of Fiji Bitters. Our recent Dolye Sails additions to the boat have put to the test. Our new #4 and Code 0 have been seeing some miles in this race. The crew is [...]
Update from Squealer
After 3 days of tough hard on the wind sailing, Squealer is happy as now running with our masthead kite, crew in shorts and tee shirts. We spent the better part of the day trying to dry out the boat and ourselves as well. Getting around the low that formed Monday night saw us down [...]
What’s on the menu?
One of the big jobs in getting your boat ready for a race like ANZ Sail Fiji is to ensure there are plenty of provisions on board for hungry (and sometimes grumpy) crew! Israel Evers is the "food technician" on board the Cookson 50 Akatea. Israel is a foodie by trade and this means that [...]
