Man hardie what would we do for a bit of flat water or a speed bank we can only dream about it.
YES we do have burrum but thats 3 to 4 hrs drive and still to get the right tide n FORECAST , you dont mind if we come over for a bit of a speed run with u fellas would really appreciate that

Awww...c'mon Pierre and Vando! What are you guys whinging about? You have it all up there in WARM, windy banana land including one of the best speed runs on the planet a measly 3 hr drive away! Poor old Chris L has to fly for more than that to get a decent run!
You are on top aren't you? This month anyhow.....

Geeze. If anyone has the right to winge it is us poor Sandy Point sods. Almost a month of no wind and even then it is only an average blow. And no where in the whole area for a NM mile run that all you other teams are whopping us on. And pretty soon it will be so cold it would re-arrange a brass monkeys love life. Fair dinkum! I recon we should get some sort of handicap allowance to even things up a bit! [}:)]

Hey sailquick how about we make a deal we'll give you the warm weather and you give us sandypoint
Im used to sailing in cold weather , i did live in Croatia 4 about 7 years and sailed every opportunity in winter with temp's reaching 0 deg n good 30 to 60 kts of wind but unfortunatly wasnt into speed then.
But your right there is no need for us to whinge it just gets a bit frustrating when you have good wind but no flat water.
About burrum you need the very low tide so you can sail the outer point to get a starboard run otherwise you'll have to sail portack and bare away from the bank beacuse the course gets too square but we will see in the future what really gives.

Um. My arithmetic is a bit shaky, but is it true that the Moreton Bay guys have handed the months win to the Swannies? This whole thing is getting very interesting indeed.

I haven't done the maths either Andrew, but their post certainly swapped the lead between you guys and the SRM.
Isn't it interesting how you don't do anything, and some other team gets in between you and the team ahead and lifts your score, over them.

You just don't know how it will end up till the last post.
It adds interest to this challenge, makes for a nail biting end of the month

My understanding was the MBM was between the Pit and SRM in the 1 hour category. When they improved it knocked the Pit down a point but had no effect on the SRM as they were already above them in that categotry.

In the Nm category, MBM were below the Pit but jumped up to 3rd on the last day but were still behind the SRM so didn't effect their score while knocking the Pit back another point.

The Swannies definitely lucked this one out.... A nice Steven Bradbury effort (your competitors take each other out)

It's not the Bradbury effect

It's the Butterfly effect.

Those Beautiful butterflys in Qld flapping those wings, bowled over the Sandy point boys whilst the gentle breeze they created lightly tickled the SRM crew.

It's all this weird cosmic interconnectedness thingy, plays even more havoc in the individual rankings
