Yes I am doing my best to make 2008/09 a better season than 2007/08. If we end up in Perth I'll send you all happy snaps of the summer doldrums over there. Its my cunning plan to get the NSW teams ontop of the GPS Challenge.

My body hurts all over - been such a long time since i was able to get out on the water - but its a nice hurt.

There will be lots of Sydney boys and girls with smiles on their faces tonight.

BTW the apparent air temp at midday on the water was 1.6° - The 6am morning crew at Sandringham had it at -0.3°.

We were all a funny purpley colour on the exposed bits of skin.

Did you notice the forecast drop since you brought it up?

Now you've got me talking about it. Might as well sleep in for sure now.

HI Max,

The lake always gets a bit gusty in the southerlies so if you get the time head over to Kyeemagh for some choppy blasting or head up closer to St George sailing club to ease the chop back a bit.

A few guys will be there from pretty early on tomorrow but your best bet looks like maybe 10-11 onwards for the wind.

Good luck and hopefully I'll see you down there.

Sam.
