The way things look down here we will not need any fuel to get to Kambalda the wind will blow us there if we can dodge the fallen trees what a mess.
Looks a bit charmer up there on the weekend.

Bought cake for me, as the wife is diseased at the moment. Bloody flu, she's coughing up pineapple chunks. Yuk!!!!!

Trailer is loaded with 3 mini's, a class 5 and penny farthing parts. Out of here early Thursday, as the forecast looks like it's the best day for wind, for the long weekend.

2 more sleeps.

Off to watch the twenty 20 match on tv now.

Looks like this last week of strong winds has dried a lot of the water off the lake.

Fingers crossed it might be a good one.

We know what you are up to Gibber, you want them to send your cake back so you can eat it all by yourself. Smart move....wok

Being the winner of this years No1 cake contest

I would presume that i have the nomination pick for next years subject

So all things being equal the title will be...... "Travelling with Landyachts to Lake Lefroy"

I expect cakes to be similar as to Aus230 travelling fleet, 9 posts up ^^^^^^^^^

the bar has been set high......very high may the best entry be blessed.

The better team. Had to cut the trip short unfortunately but had an absolute blast on Saturday during the mini races, the yacht just made it and performed better than I thought, might need to work on the backrest and extend the mast slightly.
I got a few snaps but not as many as I would have liked ( hard to photograph when you are sailing)

I would like to thank everyone for making the short time we had out there a great time and can't wait to get back out sometime soon.

I wanted to slide the back end out and try a 360 or thereabouts, but yeah things didn't go to plan. It's all good, no damage and I had a ball, the camera held up well too.

Hey zeph, you need to get in touch with nebbian and work out what you can do with that GPS readout . he should be able to give you some advice and leads so you dont delete it and regret life thereafter
joe your trophy was passed onto the runner up, Colleen Pulford ,with her amazing cheesecake, but the plaque says walkabout joe
i will get around to a bigger report and results, but the world is chasing my butt at the moment
