Dinner with Josh Emett, boxing practice with Monty Betham and an early Thanksgiving lunch at the Viaduct - the America's Cup sailors are out and about in Auckland.
Most sailors from international syndicates Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, NY Yacht Club's American Magic and INEOS Team UK are through quarantine after receiving exemptions for them and their families to travel to New Zealand for the yachting spectacle.
On Wednesday night Team NZ Skipper Peter Burling and Blair Tuke mingled with INEOS Team UK skipper Sir Ben Ainslie at the launch of Josh and Helen Emett's swanky new restaurant, Onslow, at the new International Building beside the Northern Club on Princes St. Ainslie and wife Georgie are personal friends of English-born Helen.
Luna Rossa skipper Max Sirena had his first breakfast out of quarantine at Britomart and told his Instagram followers he feels a little bit at home at Amano. He named Ponsonby's Yakitori bar Taisho the best Japanese in town.
