Is anyone going to stay up to midnight tonight.
I keep looking at the GPS Team Challenge every few minutes to make sure we are still on top. This is so nerve racking, but its looking very good right about now (8pm).

Trouble is Steve they can sit on their results and not post until the last minute a week after the end of the month I think.

The big coincidence if we win this time around will be the fact that we did pretty much the same thing last year (well almost)!!

Both days were a Sunday. However, this year it was the 28th November and last year it was the 29th November and in both instances we put in a mammoth effort to move in to first place and snatch the cup away!! Last year it was Moreton Bay Mob, this year Mandurah Mob!! Last year we also waited patiently until the clock ticked past midnight and by morning we were crowned the Spring Cup Winners!!!

Let us hope that history repeats!!

Pepe sailed with Hardie and webby , he posted at 9.10 our time 6.10 there. He said Elmo turned up when he was laeving. Sun goes down just after 7, wind starts to swing a bit before. So if its windy they may be still out, just a guess.
Oh it looks like the wind started to swing at 6 WA time and ease slightly

I know, Kato was going for the all out distance record, but looks like he may have only (only!!) got 466km's. Looks like it'll be enough forthe PiT Crew to beat us in distance, by 5km!! But in doing so, they'll knock both us and the Mandurah Mob back a point and still won't gain enough themselves to move ahead!!

What a month!!

Looks like Kato was sailing well past midnight. Kaleb you are right about sailing at night.
At least we have daylight savings, so that will be a great opportunity for us to get distance. I am going to try for 300km as soon as I get a chance with the right conditions.

it's not over yet as mathew said still data to come......im guessing from the speed sesh the other day.
with shelby pulling a 41 they only need spotty or another to get at least a 38 and we stuffed. spotty all ways seems to post a few days after a sail.but it could be any of em yet.
