Guest Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 So at this point the two predict wind models are very different one has 5 knots the other has 19. I'm hoping for the latter Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I am hoping for downwind and sunny skies the whole way... ...even at night. Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 355 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 No worries Bardy you can sail down wind and doesn't the sun shine in Welly at night ? Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's looking very light. Bardy and Booboo, stop eating right NOW! The new Norths Main is looking just excellent though!!! And what's that extra bit of sail that you have to ease the backstay to get it to tack??? BTW, the Norths September 25% off deal means the owner has to go up the mast to mark the spreader patches... And apparently there's an invoice on the way for grinding him up, as Booboo reckons that pushing the winch button required considerable effort.. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It's looking very light. Bardy and Booboo, stop eating right NOW! Okay, loud and clear. Just repacked and removed the rum from my bag to save weight. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I stressed my toe as well so there could be an invoice for damages and compensation. Rum might help to ease the pain.... Looking forward to the race. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Just had a call from Marshall Law, approaching Channel Is, on the wind brilliant sunshine and 10kn. Says he is well placed after an excellent beat out the Motuihe Channel, suggests it might have something to do with having Booboo and some other North Sails heavyweights on board.

Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Bardy, will there be two race reports posted soon or did I miss your Coastal post? You didn't miss anything... I didn't end up doing a write up for the Coastal. I did a delivery back to Tauranga afterwards which took 5 days, and then three more days with my parner in Tauranga at her dad's place - so it was about 10 days later before I was sitting down at a computer... and heaps of reports and videos had already been done by then, and the creative juices were a bit stale. I had an awesome race on Fineline with Hamish and the team. It was an epic day. So, anyway... the White Island Race then...? I will write something up tonight or tomorrow. And process the awesome photosI got. All I can say is that sailing with Smithy is a thoroughly MISERABLE experience. Sunshine, great food all race long, great people, lots of laughs, good music, sh*t-loads of wild life sightings, and a pretty respectable result it seems. Miserable...
