Hi All
We all had an awesome weekend at Kurnell. Thankyou to the organisers and volunteers who ran the racing, feed and looked after us. The results are attached and a couple of photos below. We had seven races over the weekend and twelve starts if you count all the general recalls. There seemed to be much improvement in the middle and back of the fleet and it was great practise for the nationals. Grantly and Macca won the event but the boys were given a run for their money by the Brewins. Unfortunately Richard hasn't totally recovered from the shoulder surgery and isn't in top form but hopefully he will be fighting fit by the January.
Gossip; Patrice had a beer with the fleet on Saturday night. He now lives in Thailand but is often in town on business and is keen to crew some time if anyone is short. Andrew has had a change of circumstances and has given up sailing at the moment. We will all miss him (especially the homemade rum) and hope to keep in touch.
Next weekend 14th and 15th Nov is the Bullets Regatta at Palm beach. The forecast at this stage is for sunshine and afternoon Nor'easters. NE+ Palmy = perfection! Briefing at 10.30am Saturday 14th and racing not earlier than 12 noon. For billet accommodation ring Rod Waterhouse 0416262705 or you can stay at my place but please ring 94493883 or email ASAP. Warning; if you want to stay please contact me early because you will be out of luck if you leave it until Friday or Saturday afternoon. At this stage we have 5 boats coming 1 James and Pete, 2 Kyle, 3 Stu and I, 4 Grantly and 5 Greg and Kez. The Brewins, Lowders and Ian Simpson can't get a leave pass but we don't know about the Whites and Morgans. Are you blokes coming?
