Lake Horowhenua was a blast! During some times of the day that was literal. The weather was a mix up of just about everything you can get up there. We arrived to drizzle and a reasonably strong Northerly which felt like it was dying. We got boats on the water and started sailing and it dropped to almost nothing. After about half an hour of drifting around trying to find wind, we found some coming up from the South that grew into something quite strong. Most of the boats went in after about an hour on the water.
We all then settled down to have some sausages and hot drinks with Kotuku. They were fantastic hosts and brought a great scouting spirit to what would otherwise have been a pretty non-descript event.
Special mention to Magnus, who lead the younger scouts through rigging, sailing and derigging with great maturity and attitude.
