Hi All

The forecast is looking good for this weekends racing at Bateman's Bay. At this stage it looks like we will have six F18s for our final race of the travellers series for this season. James has updated the pointscore and you can check it out on the website at www.ausf18.org.au/results/9.html Currently the Pellews on 15 are in front by one point from James and Pete (16). There is not much between the next group with Greg and Kez 27, Nissens 31, Brewins 32 and Simpsons 34. Kyle is on 40 and Trev and I are tied for the wooden spoon.

I have attached the NOR for the regatta. The word is there is unofficial camping at the clubhouse on Saturday night. Most people stay at the Batemans Bay Beach Resort 02 44724541 or the Clyde View Holiday park 02 44724224. There will be a canteen running over the weekend and a BarBQ at the club Saturday night. Racing is on Saturday and Sunday with 2 races back to back each day. Rego 9-11am Saturday, Briefing 11am, warning signal 1225pm Sat. Sunday the warning signal is earlier at 1055am.

Hope to see you all there

Hi All

With a unpromising forecast for rain and storms eleven F18s were towed north to compete in the Darren Lowder Memorial Regatta at Trial Bay. God obviously sails an F18 because yet again we were lucky with the weather. The clouds parted on cue, the sun shone and a 10 -15kt Nor'easter kept everybody happy. We had three great races each day and a social barbeque Saturday night at the Lowders party HQ. Unfortunately the race organisers haven't forwarded the results yet despite me sending a couple of emails. I think they must be collapsed exhausted in a heap somewhere after going to so much effort to put on such a good show. I have passed on our thanks for their help.

From memory I think the results were 1. Chris and Richard Brewin, 2. James and Clo Ogilvie, (on a count back) close 3rd. Ned and Dean Nissen, 4? Ian Simpson and Ryan, 5? Trevor Lowder and crew 6? Kes and crew, 7 Stuart and I, 8 Brett and Lachie White, 9 Glenn and James Towndrow, 10 Ian and Jack Morgan, 11 Terry and Vince. When the complete results arrive I will forward them on. I am going to Canada skiing on Saturday and will be back on the 29.03.10.

We only have two events left in the Travellers series this season. On Saturday 20th March we will be racing at Palm Beach Sailing Club. Then we have nothing organised until the Anzac Day Regatta at Bateman's Bay. I have attached the NOR for this event. I have emailed the organisers and I will forward on the detail about camping and food. Probably best to book early for accommodation as this is a popular destination on a holiday long weekend. I will remind you all closer to the time.

Best of luck

Hope to see you all when I get back
