Please tell me that a few cockroaches got out down at the speed strip? I can see the flags on the Anzac bridge from my office and it has been tempting me all morning.

i could see it all morning from my trip to the supreme court.
Luckily enough i wasn't picked for the jury... now at home with a great formula spot 5min up the road.... & my car's in the workshop.
Leaving me with a roof rackless astra...

i got on the water around 3:20 on the formula kit, it was great, for about 20minutes...
then became very patchy & the gusts didnt have much.
still after 6 or 7 weeks off the water 20 minutes on was a good way to end a bad day..

Thanks for hosting us guys. That was an awesome day and well worth the drive.

Who's stepping up from FE next year? The standard of the Lake guys seems to get better by the week.

See you again soon with a bit of luck.

Cheers,

Sam.

We got 4 maybe 5 races in 5-12 knots - I went out first up and got 3 nice runs in and then slogged for half an hour only to miss the start on race 1 when the wind decided to play ball.

Once again Sam showed everyone a clean pair of heels

Rick showed off the shiny new RRD and got it flying

Chris T filled us in on the latest with regard to the nationals next year (cant wait)

Sam - I will be stepping up next year to the main fleet - only because Bruce told me (as he was throwing me the nationals trophy) that it was my last time in FE+, and he is a man of law so......

You think thats bad tim. I spent Sat with my wife doing household things with teh expectation that Sunday would be good for Formula.
Sunday - I was released from teh shackles - there was no wind. This weekend will be the same. Whichever day I pick will be calm.
