Guest Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 TXTed crew dude for next weekends 2 up. "All on, will be at jetty for 9am departure to race track" Reply - "So the race starts at 8.30 then" Even my bloody crew's now having a go May have another entry arriving. Looks just like us but with extra long things sticking out from all over it. He reckons I sound like I'm having too much fun and he wants a slice of the action as well. Downside is no way I'll beat him around a course just like no one beat him in the CC last weekend..... bugger.... no make that a big BUGGER! Is AA coming out to play???

Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks Fish, I think I've finally realised I need to untie a tad earlier. It's knot like the odd person....OK everyone, even my bloody crew and kids are taking pleasure in reminding me And don't you worry there Mr Bump, we enjoy the tussles with you equally and do intend to have more, in about 6.5 days I believe.

Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Anywhere we can tie up at Weiti overnight? Spare mooring? I might come up Fri night for a blast around on Sat. EE Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Get hold of AA, should be able to tie up at the club pontoon if you ask nicely. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Dear Mr AA, May we please tie up at the club pontoon on Friday night in preparation for a relaxed start on Saturday? It would really be appreciated. Luv EE Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Oui careful, I've already booked one side of the jetty for a Friday nite arrival also. From memory I think there is enough water to raft up if required. Or if the weather is willing Arkles Bay does have a couple of hotties who like early morning swims... sorry, it a nice place to anchor up over night. Only 100mts to the startline. Yes I know, I still missed that start as well but only by a couple of minutes. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, capers and a tiny hint of picked ginger isn't a breakfast you rush What a suck up EE Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 EE just asked me to join him If you are parked there with nothing to do Fri night , come up to the house and have a quiet drink. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 EE just asked me to join him Oh my gawd, please remember it's knot the His and Hers Mr Squidly...... I've seen the photos and they weren't that pleasant I wonder if this years his and hers will feature that bloody sly come out of nowhere Team Mr & Mrs Bump or do Mr Bump and JH have to fight it out to see who pulls on the mini skirt Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 So team Squid/Energy it is. I'm surprised, pleased and relieved he didn't ask me if Energy has a double berth like he always seems to do. That would just be plain yucky. EE Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi guys, on Friday night we have our regular Twilight race so the outside of the pontoon will be busy until around 8.30 - 9. But after that there shouldn't be a problem Mr EE. You could tie up to KM on the inside, however there's a good chance you'll get there before him, but for Gawds sake don't tie in there first or else you'll be late when he sleeps ion on Saturday morning! After the race on Fri night we're having a bit of a bon fire at the club, bar open. Bring your own fireworks but nothing that shoots things up in the air as there's alot of bush around the area and we are a responsible care bear sort of club. Mr EE, if you can get your entry in asap please then I'll have time to research your handicap and give you one fair n square. Otherwise in the absence of time and information it's 1. Be glas to see you out there and meet another forumite! Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I definitely won't be racing as Squid helped me take my rudder off yesterday. Pity as this is my favourite course. last time Squid & I did this we were in a squall doing around 14 knots, Saddle Island was fast approacing and we had a discussion about whether we drop the gennaker or change course a few degrees go to Warkworth for lunch! Tide was too low so we dropped the gennie... Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget the special countermeasures the Weiti Black Ops team use to keep un wanted interlopers and beurcrats out of the river, I think most mariners call it a bar. Squidly knows the secret code but be careful, if you miss the bar you may suddenly need that double birth, ewkk! You should be fine with your draft though, and besides, its nice soft mud...

Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wasn't it this race where Fish tried out his unpatented "roller furl the spinaker around the forestay" technique Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wasn't it this race where Fish tried out his unpatented "roller furl the spinaker around the forestay" technique Thanks for bringing that up Squidly, yes the innovative method of furling the gennaker by using the backwash off the main trick, excellent example of seamanship I think when for some reason you can't run the kite halyard, but lets not mention how I came to be in that situation, accept to say I was chasing down a slippery red boat which had two crew and a total of ten arms on board grrrrrr Link to post Share on other sites
