Nationals QOTD
Nationals Quote of the Day Round Up:
All of the people quoted below were heard second or third hand and are probably taken out of context if not all together wrong.
Day 1: "If another local says 'it's not normally like this' i am going to throttle them cause I have sailed here seven times and it has always been like this" (les, standing in teh rain)
Day 2: "Every wave is laughing at me" (scott's report after being sent out to check the course)
Day 3: "Is there sailing school on today? All of the boats are capsized." (random old guy on the beach)
Layday Eve Dinner: "While I was in the change rooms this afternoon I saw something very impressive" (leigh on budgie, later budgie dropped his pants to show it off)

Rough as Guts
Rough conditions yesterday, perfect for rum drinking.
Invitation Race
Jack Sherring (QLD) won in a lumpy drift-a-thon (with some marginal foiling) while the rest of us got seasick and heat stroke. Well done Jack.
Race 1
Rumour mill was rife with 20 knots predicted to come soon. After a long wait for the wind to fill in (from nothing) the starter was keen to get some racing in before a front arrived. With some boats still trying to get to the line the race got underway in sub-foiling conditions. This wasn't to last long and within a minute it was all systems go, ~15knots. Upwind was fine in the lumpy stuff but downwind was another story. Plenty of cartwheels ensued as ppl tried to sort setups.
Race 2
I don't know what happened because I pussied out of the first race but the procession of borken or flooded boats was enough to validate my decision to retire for the day and drink rum.
Today is shaping up to be a bit windier from the West. Don't know what that means for the waves, we'll soon find out. End of the week is looking good.
Oddball results to follow but we think Markla is winning, which is very odd.

Rum Squad
One from our part time contributer, Alanla?... Alanarkla?... Alla?
Rum Squad has not had a tunning seesion together in quite some time, individuals have been training hard during the year. With an appropriate warm up even this weekend I'm sure the performances of the squad members in apperance at the Nationals will do us all proud.
Rum Squad shall be on the attack at this year's Australian Moth Nationals

Go Alan!
Something strange is happening (lotta bad links) with the imoth-wa website but i did find some results here:
http://nsigns.com.au/moth/results/
Just click any of the date modifieds after 1.Jan.10.
This appears to be more of a workaround than something right so I don't know how long the link will work for.
