Have spoken to Kaleb, I can't wait to see the results. Glad he had a back up GPS as I'd hate something to happen and he lost all the data! Should be very interesting! He wont get home until pretty late but I'm sure he will uploads before he goes to bed! Ooops, just realised I'm logged on as buzzy!

Lets get behind Kaleb and Dave our team mates going for it in Henty on the Golden Mile tomorrow.

All the best boys!!!!!

I am going to give a $50 prize to the person who picks closest to the Nautical mile speed average between both in knots. To enter there must be a genuine well wish for the boys and an Nautical mile speed average.

Why not have fun as well picking the highest peak speed of both for $10 as well.

My estimate is 37.58 knots average GO BOYS!!!!!!!!

Peak 2 sec 46.85 Knots

Cheers Russ


Hey Russ,
Looks like Dave may have it although I suspect he went slow to bring down the average closer to his guess of a 36 knot average .

Congratulations guys on a massive session too.

Wow readings Daves summary of the buz run he hit 42 and then spun out at that speed to drop to 30.

I haven't hit 25 yet.

Well done everyone, especially buzzy for showing that the wave guys are just as fast and can make sudden corners, but his speed in the NM puts my guess right out.

Well done all

I had a strong feeling you boys were going to post special numbers.

Look's like $50 going your way. Fantastic to see $50 going to you mate well done.

Kaleb effort was unreal as well, well worth the trip for all team members I am sure.

Congratulations on the $50.

Yep Buzzy has done something very special, considering he has only just taken speed sailing up. All on secondhand gear and first time out on the CA.
Well done again Kaleb.
So Russ who has won the $50 and $10 prizes.

I think I am Paying Dave the $50?

for getting closest to the average top 2 nm.

who got the $10 for the peak???

if we agree it's Dave I will place the $50 into his account.

Cheers and Merry Christmas Russ

Ant you will need to pay for a carton for the winner (Dave) as well
