Queenstown, NZ

Activities abound here. You can heli or bungy anything...they'll even shoot you out of a cannon! We chose a ride on an America's Cup sailboat...tame by comparison, but a unique experience nonetheless. Captain Joe put us to work, and taught us a thing or two about sailing. The wind was fine...what a kick in the pants!! We were not only excellent "rail meat", but we helped raise and lower the sails as well with those big winches.

The wind was about 3 knots, and we had the ship up to 9.9 knots at top speed. We're seriously considering entering into the next America's Cup, although our boat hasn't been over 5 knots under sail.
