David Lomas has made a career out of finding important people in others lives. Now, with partner Clarinda Franklin by his side, he s found the missing person in his own. It s just a feeling of absolute happiness and contentment, says the David Lomas Investigates host, sitting side by side with Clarinda, a teacher and school principal, at her home in Devonport. I don t quite understand why Clarinda would like me, but we just get on. I find it quite remarkable.

To commemorate Anzac Day, Peter Dragicevich outlines a self-guided walking tour around the military sites of historic Devonport
Home to the Royal New Zealand Navy s main administrative base, Devonport has had strong ties to the military since the earliest days of the colony. This 9km loop can be walked in less than two hours, but you could easily fill up the best part of a day exploring the museum, maunga and military installations along the way.
You can catch the action on the water for an unforgettable experience.
Contact the Cup Cat who have a luxury spectator vessel out on the water and close to the race course, they have space left for today and tomorrow, Sunday. click here to find out about viewing from the Cup Cat.
Or you can have the experience of a lifetime watching a race from a helicopter with Helicopter Me flying both days this weekend. Other than a few media most never get the opportunity to see America s Cup racing from the air, and the Airbus Eurocopters operated by Helicopter Me are the ideal machines with large windows, executive spec interiors and noise cancelling BOSE headsets making them perfectly comfortable for the 30-45 minute duration of this ultimate helicopter experience. A chopper is one of the few ways of keeping up with an AC75 ripping along at close to 50kts.

Team NZ s Blair Tuke says confidence is growing after every race as Team NZ are two wins away from retaining the America s Cup.
Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa will duel it out on the ‘Stadium Course’ for the first time at this America s Cup, if racing can get underway on Tuesday.
What s the ‘Stadium Course’?: Course C. The course has been the preferred option throughout the summer, but is weather dependent. The Stadium Course also brings more tactical skills into play with the dominant landmarks affecting wind areas on the water.
Where is it?: It is the preferred course to take advantage of the predominant Southwest wind at start time. Sheltered between North Head and Bastion Point, it brings the racing right into the heart of the Waitematā Harbour with viewing from multiple city vantage points.
