How many Mandurah Mob are keen on joining us on our home turf this weekend? The forecast looks good at this stage and we could organise another "GPS Max Display Speed" informal list to make it even more interesting.

Seems the crab caressers go very quiet when you ask them if they are going to venture out of their comfort zone

Well I will be doing one of my pilgrimages to the sunny clime's of Karachi on that day, thus ensuring you hard done by peoples have a full week of wind.

Please note,
I return Friday at which time the wind will switch of for the next week so if you haven't sailed next week in blissful gloriously powered up conditions don't come whining to me.

As a side note

There is a bit of disparity between sailing on the Swan and the Mandurah estuary.

• Motorcross track vs knee high chop.


• 1000's of boats vs 1000's of crabs (and other nasty wildlife).


• 1,000,000's of F'ken huge jellyfish vs the occasional strategically placed fin destroying rocks.


• 1000's of kites vs 1 red muppet.


• 2km runs vs leg melting runs

There is a reason why people want to travel to Mandurah besides watching me do amazing stupid stunts in my endeavor to go quicker

not that I'm biased mind you

Living in Bunbury and attending an event in perth that kicks off close to 5pm with BBQ and drinks afterwards makes it a bit hard for those that have to travel 2hours each way. Crab land is only 1 hrs drive for me. I would love to take part but a Saturday would have been much better.

Man im jelous i wish we had something like that event here

M Mobber reply: wifey working tomorrow evening so I cannot get there (3 kids)

There is no problem with saying it's gonna blow this afternoon, so this race wil be great!!

Have fun today peoples, I honestly wish I was out there with you all

Anybody have the results? I had to bail straight after the race so all I know is Slowy 1st, followed by Jesper and Matt Langer.

I have posted in the WWA area, but many thanks to the Windforce guys for organizing yesterday - great fun!!!! The best attended metro event in years........

Cheers

Sorry Daffy,
