Good Morning!

A fantastic effort @utopia, she should be extremely proud of herself. Thats right @TAB, they are plainly not in a supermaxi. What class is she in @utopia? Plainly for a small yacht, 42nd place overall is admirable indeed.

Hi everyone, I haven't been on this thread in the afternoon, I'm usually first up!!! @Former-Member I thought the penalty for the race was harsh also, they still won in my eyes. How's cricket going @Former-Member????

Just finishing the course is FANTASTIC. @utopia

I was a bit watery when I was younger but one time I was yachting at that angle the captain was passing too much scotch around so I was a little nervous,. Yet it was only in Port Phillip Bay. I knew a few people doing sea journeys and have great respect for the old technology of sail (with a bit of help). Its a great racket when the wind blows and the sails are full.

Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member @TAB @Former-Member @outlander @Shaz51

I had a good day at the zoo. It was a bit warm and I coped with the heat better than I have in previous years.

Giddai Everybody

I am missing @Former-MemberHope she is alright and visiting rellies.

Hi @Maggie and hello there @Appleblossom.

Thats right it is unusual for you to be here in the afternoon, you being our early riser.

I'm with you, I think Wild Oats still won! There is no way that what occurred made anywhere near an hour's difference.

As for the cricket - well the Aussie's have not had a good test at all. The Pommies have come out and performed very strongly and the Aussies have struggled as a result. Right now there is rain in Melbourne, and I dont know if it will clear in time for them to get back on again today. It might be a blessing for the Aussies actually, because they are fighting to save the test. At present the Poms are in the box seat, and are the only team who can actually win the test at this point in time. But I think with only a day to go, its most likely to be a tame draw. The Aussies need to hang in there though. Lets see what they're made of.

As I missed out on good morning due to the heat how about good evening with a winter theme to cool us all down a bit

Lovely @Bunniekins my kind of weather.

Well done to your friend @utopia. I hope she knows she has quite a following here?

I have only ever sailed once, and that was some time ago. Part of a crew on a Ketch, so nothing like these cruising yachts. But it was great fun.
