First time I've heard of the "Basin Trials" exercise, but as I'll be on my way home from GI at 1600 I may as well pop in for some "Warming Flashes" for Saturday. I'll be there Saturday, but may miss the starters gun, and might be able to bring Denyse Sunday, if it doesn't clash with the daughters' work arrangements.
Cheers all round,
Dave Warren

Well done Dave...

...but bring Denyse AND your daughters out on the yacht, after
all, they are all 'Strake-Holders' in their own right...

If you're buying it, I'll drink it! My stomach will get even with me later, but it'll be worth it! :D :D :D

Of course, being your first time, it's your shout! :D :D :D

BTW, it's only Dave's first time attending the Basin Trials, he's done a Rocks Pub Crawl with us before...

And has anybody heard from Steve 'Muppet 74' Wilson since he moved back from The Bahamas, he's supposed to
be joining us as well... He hasn't responded to my PM, and I would have no idea what his Australian e-mail is...

OK......bags are packed......I've got $85:00 tucked away in my wallet....all set to go.
Anything else I need????? :?

For you..? A pack of cards...


Credit Cards...

Just got the following PM from Steve 'Muppet '74' Wilson... I'm sure he wouldn't mind me posting it...

Hello Rick,

My apologies for not answering sooner. Didn't relaise that I had a message.
Still trying to get down there. Can't be 100% sure at the moment as there is a possibility that I may be heading out
to Dubai on the weekend. My new Lords and Masters have decreed a big pow wow next week in Dubai and are still
yet to confirm if they want my bright and smiling face up there.

I should know by Wednesday, hopefully I will not have to go and be hopping on a plane to Sydney on Friday night.

Talk soon,
Regards,
Steve

Now you've all got all of our weather links, you can keep an eye on the weekend's forecasts yourselves...

Don't say I never do anything for you...

*Considering the thunderstorms we've been having since last week, no mean feat I'd say in all modesty...!

Well the back spasms/pain/agony I have been putting up with since we had the MOBI under sail have finally progressed to occasional & painful complete numbness of the right leg. Saw neurosurgeon last tuesday, and he has organised another MRI of spine this thursday night, but in the meantime he's sharpening his scalpel for a go at my spine. Fingers crossed that saturday doesn't literally turn into a pub crawl for me.
For the basin trialers on friday, my mobile No is 0407 231 871 if you need to make any "Where the 'ukn hell are you' type calls.
Cheers.
