) Suffice it to say that David triumphed in an outstanding win that day , and again and again and again in an unbroken record on following days , so that the America 's Cup remains proudly in New Zealand , its new home . Another life experience was a ride in a combine harvester with Marie 's brother , with whom , at a tender and impressionable age , we had castrated cows and collected the prairie oysters in a rusty tin can way back in 1969 . With Ian she did the world-famous Crypt Lake hike , which starts with a refreshing boat trip across the windswept waters of Waterton Lake to land on the other side , climbs steeply past Hell Roaring Falls , carries on for miles and miles up a glaciated side valley , switchbacks interminably and very steeply up to a 20 metre tunnel in the rock through which you have to crawl ( leave your claustrophobia behind on this trip ! This time we did a stunning skyline hike at the top , Pam heart in mouth along a narrow ledge a mere three metres ( according to Ian ) or 30 cm ( according to her ) wide . Of course , the sailing summer was dominated by the America 's Cup . And now Nikki 's home for a few months . Having come so far we were concerned about getting back before the wine ran out , so after buying a toothbrush and a short night 's sleep we left early in the morning ( 6 and 7 AM starts were a feature of this trip ) and beat back nervously against strong winds to the Bay of Islands .
