Altough we just had a drink with Hardy an hour ago, he's currently in 17th place and here's the photo to prove it.

(think I've done it right this time, got the image instead of the gif pointing to it)

Hope I've done nothing illegal by copying the pix from the Rolex S.toH. site!

i'll try not to decrep.
Have a wooly jumper with me like my mum told me to.

Only thing is it spoils the glow stick effect.
Wonder if i can staple through the jumper.......will try

Might hop in the car and head down the coast a bit to a warmer spot.

Hardie has moved up to 15th place, holding a steady 12knots. Only 161nm behind the leader.

I am furiously paddling my kayak over the bass strait cdma and laptop in hand, and by gum its choppy.

looking forward to seeing Hardie romp in around 10th position. **** me nips are sore. Think i go an infection.
