Sailing...

Very good meeting last night with Mladen Ivancic, Graeme Mason (both of NZFC), Tim Sanders and moi. We met down at the Viaduct on the Auckland harbour on one of those perfect autumnal evenings when the air was warm and still, and the boats bobbed obligingly on the water.

As it happened it was new CEO Graeme's first day in the job, so we had the privilege of pitching our project to him before anyone else (unless the taxi driver pitched him on the way in - dang). I have to say he's as sharp as a tack and first impressions are that he will do very well in his new role.

We talked over various aspects of where we've got to with Insatiable Moon and what funding avenues were open to us. The upshot is that we received as much encouragement as we might expect from people who need to be very careful what they say. Graeme has taken the latest draft of the script away to read.

And yes, it looks like it's head down bum up for the next little while, as I begin the tedious task of compiling the documentation which is necessary for an application to the board sometime later this year.

All in all, though, another positive step along the way.
