This is not our Queen’s Wharf was the one Ho Keung and Yin Ping visited. The wharf looked very different from the busy Fisherman’s Wharf I saw in
The helicopter here, I suppose, was the sightseeing one so that tourists might hire to take the aerial view of the harbour.
On the shores Ho Keung chanced to see a lady team ready to practise rowing their long narrow swift-going boat.
A beautiful yacht had been lifted out of the water and placed on the shore for maintenance. It is interesting for me to see its spoon-like base, having two-thirds of the body of yacht under water when it actually sails.
There was a
May I ask Ho Keung and Yin Ping a question? Did you experience strong winds or moderate ones at the harbour which might be favorable for sailing?

Kiwis refer Wellington as " windy Wellington ", it is the windiest city in New Zealand. It comprises a large natural harbour opening out south into Cook Strait, which acts as a large wind tunnel for the southerly winds straight off the Antarctic. There are 173 days a year with wind gusts greater than 60 km/hr. October is the windiest month. The prevailing wind is North-westerly, so buildings facing that direction would have a greater share of the winds.
people here make good use of the wind for windsurfing and sailing.
We gave thanks to our Heavenly Father that on the day of our tour of Wellington we had very nice weather with sunshine and mild breeze. The harbour front was quite windy though but not extreme. Yet when we returned to Wellington( at 1:30 am ) after a few days, it was sooo windy and cold.
