Days 109 to 123 Hamilton Island Race Week


Well..........WHAT A REGATTA!!!!
We had a fantastic time changing the pace up to do a great week of racing. Our home for the last few months was being transformed into a speed machine! The thought of this was a bit daunting at first, but thanks to a great team it wasn't a problem for us and Tania and I are greatfully appreciative for everyones help.
The UNREAL crew was all thanks to the following: Rick, Greg, Pete, Little Jim, The Don, Skolsie, Richie, Big Bruce, Mel and Katsie, Tania and Hayden. The boat went like a rocket and all had a fab time. Skill, strength, determination, persistance, guile and cunning got us through on the day to give some great results and a fun time. Many said that they have never seen the boat go so well. It was all too good to be true and it will take a long time for it to be topped by us. Thanks again to everyone!

The above link will take you to the series results, giving us a 5th in our division. As usual our handicap didn't do us any favours giving all boats but a 50ft carbon boat time at the start of the regatta. This was out of our control, so we just did our best and copped it on the chin.
