Brenda, Arnold and I went for dinner at the cruising club last night and discovered that it was a Quiz Night. We decided to pay our $3.00 each and join it. We needed a genuine Kiwi to make up our group of four and fortune delivered Jill the genuine article.
We started off well by being the only table to correctly respond with "John Denver" to the first of nine or ten successive clues with diminishing points; so we started off the quiz with ten points. We sagged in "sports" and "faces" questions. However we had chosen "science" and "acronyms" as our strong suite and did well in those categories with their associated double points.
I am pleased to report that our table won by 5 points. We each walked out with a fine polo shirt with the Opua Cruising Club logo, and I walked out with a generously large wine glass also with the club logo, for my "John Denver" response.
This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.
