.....Unless you can sail midweek, given there are twenty teams, if you don't post a team session by 31st May, your team will be awarded 120 points, which is OK if you are a social team, it's just fun to be a part of it. However, If you are serious though, you will be behind the 8 ball!!!!

Get a team session on the baord!!

As I said in another post Hardie, Troppo and I are like Heeler dogs waiting for a tennis ball, talk about frustration.

End up behind the ball, have you checked out the guys in Pit Crew, I wont even get to see where it went

Just remember

Some data is better than no data.

no data give you the full wazza of points against you but a 3 knot average will be better than no post at all

I've seen your data and I'm bloody sure I wouldn't want to swim from where you sail out to

I gather yours was a solo session. Shame it would have been a good post

That's why I love Tea Baggers Elmo, been towed in from about a K out
If we'd known Troppo's GPS had died, he coulda had mine after an hour, same conditions for over 2 hours

that would have done some damage to the distance segment, probably just as well

I had one of those on the weekend rushed out Sunday with the conditions dropping, quickly rigged up, got in a couple of runs, good speeds for the conditions, checked the GPS later it's switched of! some Dickhead forgot to check battery level before going out

you only need to go for a 1 hour chug to get some data down and save points

Elmo,

If Firiebob, is exactly like us...... which is totally nonchalant about the challenge, then he can just relax about it

I mean...... just coz we sailed at night when it was pitch black amongst the pylons and channel markers of Hardies Run doesn't mean we're that serious......... does it...........Twas only a one off...... and we'd sailed for ages in grovelly winds....... and the breeze finally came in.............. come on guyz let us off the hook we're not that serious

After seeing his data where Mr Bob is sailing 3.5 MILES offshore, I thought trying to get him to go for a 1 hour chug would be funny

Call me sick and perverted but it would be funny

Don't forget to walk around and spell your name out when you swap the unit over

Hey Elmo, Green's about 18 mile offshore, many moons ago I sail there and back, bigger balls then

Don't worry Nebs, I'll sail for a couple of hours, turn the Navi off & on, then give it to the kid for the next couple or more

I see in another post Nebs, you guys were guna chase a 100K's. Bad luck for us, Troppo and I only have one GPS
