Thanks found it and good news I'm currently ahead of both Stretch and Firiebob might even make it into double figures this weekend ????
Is Stretchy ahead of anyone?

Not sure why WA coastline is regarded as "in the Pacific"

Can you be more pacific
Sorry Yoyo 
I registered for the nautical mile challenge on 10-5, and got an email from my credit card company about the charge so I though everything was fine. I sent an email to Dylan a couple of days later, and everything still seemed to be fine. However, none of the sessions I posted show up in the challenge.
Did anyone else have problems registering?
The NM Challenge is a great initiative by WW. It's a pity when people try to pour cold water on something positive. GPS speedsailing will always be strongly influenced by "the right place at the right time", it comes with the territory.
If you don't like GPS speedsailing, do something else...

I understand that you are flying from the US to have a go at the flat water in Australind. Commitment there fella!! On one of those new inflatable board rig set ups. Wow more kudos!!
Fluro booties?

Thanks to everyone that got involved.
Dylan from KA72.com will be doing the lucky draw soon, so good luck to all the 70 competitors who are in with a chance of winning some GPS products from Locosys.
Thanks guys, a great competition again held by the Windwanderers and KA72, good to have been part of it. WA is fortunate to have some great NM places if the wind and tide align. Albany top of the list but Glory Holes Coods and Boombas not too far. Best thing was sailing with so many talented sailors just all having fun, a great community of people across Australia. Stretchy/Dave we might have to do Lake George I hear it's a place for NM??
If you turn the results upside down, I won yay 
Big congrtas Boz, big effort big result 
Well done Boz on the win, would kill for a spot like Albany here. Do I get an award for fastest naughty with a jibe in it, The Gorge isn't wide enough to get a full nm in without going way downwind.

I reckon top notch NM Roo
One of my bucket list places has always been to sail the Gorge maybe one day.
Congratulations Boz! Big effort in watching the forecast and driving all the way to Albany at the right time. It was a great tactical move, and a good thing you stayed overnight (aside from the 4+ hour drive each way). The nm PB you scored on the first day would not have been enough to win. It took the second day's effort to do it. A well earned win.
Great effort & well done on the win Boz. You picked the best days so far this season & made the most of it

Thanks Anita, first day wasn't possible tide too low made the run short and weedy, plus the main panel on the 6.3 was blown out which made it more like a 5.7 sail. Quick visit to Albany Bunnings for some tape the next morning patched the sail for the second session, bring on the easterlies this summer down there it will be epic.
Time to get ready this months sailing with so many things happening not forgetting the Screemin Leeman (I'll try not to break anything this time)

Come on up Boz, always got lots of spare equipment for you to have a fang on. Turns on here from April through October.
Well done Boz, sounds like a big trip! Glad it was worth the effort and you could patch up your sail for another go!

Pity the prize was not a KA sail...
Congrats to the winners..Just noticed mine . It was sailed at Wallis lakes - not Budgy..
Thanks heaps! I won ..
I knew I didn't stand a chance of winning the comp. I mainly entered hoping to win a prize so I'm happy..
What do I have to do now?
