Is it Un-Australian to stay inside in the aircon all day and drink while listening to the Hottest 100 and occasionally check up on OBT every half hour?

Not one bit mate.
If it makes you feel any better I will go for a second swim at the beach to keep the average up.

Just got home from Kurnell. Every man and his dog was out there. Didn’t end up kiteboarding as a southerly front come through about 9 hrs earlier than expected and a nice fog with it.

But the gods were looking after me and the local catamaran club were holding the world’s longest running regatta which was started by Captain Cook. I’m not tugging your chains… I’m only reciting what the official starter stated at the race briefing. This poor guy had his girlfriend bail out of sailing as she was worried about a 30 knot north easter coming thru. He was down a crew member so I got to step in but once we discussed my limitations (my knee) it was decided I would helm the boat… yee ha.. after 4hrs of racing from Kurnell, La Perouse, Brighton, Dolls Point under some bridge then back to Kurnell. We had a blast (still doesn’t bet bush bashing on the bike). Even better there was a good old Aussie BBQ that followed. Went to my sister’s place for a soak in the spa then did the drive home.

What a day… my smile is the right way up

Almost finshed the roof on the carport but it just got too bloody hot so I consumed a bottle of Turkey in the arvo whilst swimming in the pool

Took the tinny out onto Sydney Harbour and then back home for a BBQ. Drank way too much grog.

[Gary BloxsomeMember]

Hey Bollocks, you recken I’m a piss pot. Just reading though all the replies on this topic and EVERY single one of them talks about the bottle. Booney should get the title, he had 3 beers before I even got outa bed.
Anyway, to satisfy you all, yes I did get totally hammered and followed Sams advice and did some lamb on the BBQ

Cheers Gary

Murph,

It was on a Tornado Catamaran. Frig that thing flys in next to no breeze and lots of fun with the asymmetrical spinnaker. My hands were glued to the tiller. The wind started at 1 knot in every direction but by the end of the race we had 15knots from the north east – perfect. Two out on wire and yahooing. Oh that rum/coke tasted like gold after it and I so didn’t feel guilty with all the calories.

Spent the day in 40 degree heat doing a major overhaul of the Goondiwindi MX track. We had 3 bobcats, 2 big loaders, two slashers and 30 volenters. The track looks great now. Can’t wait to ride it on Sunday. :woohoo:
