Goin' Yachtin'

This weekend Markla and I will be tagging along with Woo and Princess Fiona on their blazer 23 trailer sailer, Shrek (it's big and green, not unlike the hulk (but some ppl didn't like that name)), for the Bay to Bay race.

Starting at Tin Can Bay (A) and finishing in Hervey Bay (B), it is a two day race/cruise/piss-up with a stopover behind Fraser Island. Hopefully the mosquitoes don't eat us. Apparently it can also get a little shallow at times, it is after all the Great Sandy Strait. Lots of tacking and or gybing. Wish us luck.

    we use to do the bay to bay often in our elliott 780's when we lived in Bazza land.
    Have fun watch the bottom, 20 knots in 1m of water was awesome

    one year we got out and walked the boat 500m up the creak to the wind. Good parties on the back of fraser Is though.

    Sounds like you had a great race, I was on a Ross 780, blew a spinnaker day 2, then the rudder let go and we had to retire. Maybe see you there next year!
