Yup, one of my worst races ever. Had the whole family over on holiday, had problems with the kids, the camper van the food ( squats).
Water was sloppy and i was set up fast but could,t use it. Finished fifth and well pissed, but got the rig back to England OK had sold it to Dave Mintey for a big bag of gold and didn't want to bend it. Palamos was still a small fishing village back then, Thought the race was in Roses ????
