Before we arrived in New Zealand a historical event happened. The Alinghi crew defeated New Zealand's crew in the famous America's Cup sailing competition (Official homepage). It was said that some people in New Zealand were quit pissed about the fact, that Switzerland has beaten the proud sailing nation. It must be said that the victory was double-edged: Most of the crew was coming from New Zealand. Everything was international in the Alinghi team. It could be doubted that the language on the boat was Swiss German. But the sponsor was Swiss and nowadays this counts.
The impact on New Zealand was quit big. On the official pages You can read that the government is now supporting Team New Zealand to get the Cup back. They are afraid that the loss will mean as well a financial crack for New Zealand.
All this made it a little bit dainty to re-commissioning the Taranaki CCPP. The turbine is manufactured by an original Swiss company, parts of the crew are coming from the Alps country and the customer crew is coming from NZ. But the safety introduction made it very soon clear. No additional safety equipment to the safety helmet, glasses and boots was needed. The German speaking people on site were treated like always and if there was a fight when it was about megawatts. The sign in the control room "Swiss made" indicated that there is still proudness about the turbines' roots and the flags near the front door made it every morning quit clear: No adversaries, partners!

Anyway: Why fight? The Alinghi crew was partly coming from New Zealand and the Taranaki farmers are partly coming from Switzerland. So lets say Alinghi Ahoi like it was written in the Swiss Coffee Club and wait for a tensive fight for the Cup next time.
