Ok, really the Louis Vuitton Cup, then the America’s Cup. We had a six hour layover in Auckland on the way to Fiji. So we checked our luggage and stored our carry-on’s at the airport. The long ass cab ride to Auckland harbor made me glad Weta wasn’t based here. We’re in Auckland, and the Cup is kinda a big deal even though I know practically nothing about it, so why not? Stars and Stripes is sponsored by Viagra. The boat must perform well with a stiff wind. Ugh, the cab ride back to the airport was at rush hour. Zoiks. On to Fiji tonight.<\/p>\n
