Off early the next morning , and the wind contined to increase as we beat across the Firth of Thames to the Coromandel peninsula . She 's excited about her property and is developing into quite the gardener . The next morning was nice enough to tempt us into a circumnavigation of Waiheke , but once we were committed to this plan the wind increased to 25 knots with big gusts , and we had to tack against it all day . We drank champagne , and martinis , all out of paper cups ; Ian had to mix the martini in a coffee plunger ! We set off with the wind behind and a reef in the sail . Graham hopefully throws the spinner overboard but a Certain Person lets his end of the line go too . Eventually the wind abated a little and we rehoisted the mainsail . Pubs : round the corner from us was Jack Kerouac and Jackson Pollock 's local : Jack was ejected for pissing in an ashtray and Jackson for ripping the men's-room door from its hinges . We picked them up and sailed round the corner for lunch . Sailing under jib alone we made the rendezvous in Coromandel Harbour and picked up Michael and Rosaleen to take them round the corner for a night on the boat . We rounded a navigation buoy just ahead of a Kiwi boat and hardened up into the wind , only to find that it was rounding the same buoy ( though not racing ) .
