We have had very little time in the boat and this race was quite rough.
Top speed for the day was 123 kph (76mph)
We have another race this weekend so will see how we go this time.

Yes we did have a bit of a moment on the weekend. Navigator was released from hospital yesterday and I got out today. Such is the commradery in the offshore ranks here in Aus that several guys from various teams pitched in together to get the motor drained and running within a couple of hours. A huge thankyou to all who have helped and sent their best wishes. Be a few weeeks before I will be mobile enough to get the boat repaired but at least we both shouldn't have any long term side effects.

hey mate hope your feeling a bit better you guys from the grumpy mongrel crue that used to run the HO on the back of a concept?

[gmst2]

Thanks for that we are slowly recovering. Yes we did run a concept with a 225HO skiracing. Awesome in a straight line but a bit of a handful in the S80. Found our Venom to be a better allround boat. Still have the Concept though.
