The Louis Vuitton Cup
was won by New Zealand on three occasions.
This yachting cup
decided who would be the challenger for
the Americas Cup yacht race.
I took this photo back in 2013 at
The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron
where it was proudly on display
in the trophy room.
My husband was a very keen yachtie
and has been a member of the club for over 40 years.
I snapped this photo on the same day.
It is the Roll of Honour of members
who lost their lives in
World War 1 and World War 2.
I'm joining Gemma for
If you have something red to show

Thank you for your visits
Take care and
be kind to one another
à bientôt
