Ya Vic, you're nuts alright!

Dig that inverted V mast. And the date. Cool as hell.

I get a pretty straight answer on that one Wok, NO

Just inform her that it is just the aerodynamic fairing for a new yacht, I'm sure you could convince her?

I can see the appeal, especially by someone with such a nice building record. You should be able to whip something up pretty quick!

Recognize this spot chook, First sail of my cremated wind flyer

East of Cape lar grand, Lucky bay I think it is called. It was a great spot when this was taken (2004) and great fishing of the rock. Sand was like concrete and plenty of wind.
Except for my class3 it is still my favourite yacht,(useless in a tack tho) But easily do over a 100K when wound up on Lefroy. It handled like it was on rails. Still miss it.
I did not covered it up when I came to Bridgetown and water wreaked it. I would have loved to have raced it against other wind flyers

Reckon this is more your flavour Vic.

It was going ok until it tipped onto it's side and then took off!

maybe just stick with a replica of the viking circa 1898, Ive got some really clear pic of the yacht

We are stuck on the "Growire from the vineyards for making the 12 gauge spokes.
We need plain not blue coloured, galvanized wire that's 2.680mm.
It's available here in Esperance ex Perth, $132 for 1000mtrs but only if I buy 10 rolls. (they wont split up a pallet)
Not sure I could use 10 kms around my 28 acres here.

Don't they grow grapes round you Vic???

Haven't lost interest, just to many other interests getting in the way.
Not to mention the list "She" has for me to do to the chook house.

I really like the idea of reliving a bit of history though.
What do you reckon Boulder Ben

Not much time left for this year with only 9 and a bit weeks till Lefroy.
I have too much on with my Ag college students, leading up to the Royal show in Perth.

But aiming for next year, I'm in.

Your trip looks like a ripper Vic.

chook it will have to be next year for me to. could be fun .
Remember that little cap light you gave me , it now goes up and down Ijin sulfur volcano .It has been a well traveled, been to the top of several volcano in Java. The miners start in the dark but the sulfur gas burning lights it up a bit. I gave it to one of the miners that carrying 80kg plus out of the crater without a light. They get 7cents for carrying the load 800m up the crater and 3k down the side of Ijin not bad work if you can get it(just joking had to admire them)

Hy thanks chook, it was a fantastic trip climed volcano nealy every day, volcano discovery has been going for 8years and I am the first Australian to go, felt a bit special or may be I am nuts
