Well this is a close call between the Videos presented today, but on this occasion the trophy goes to the Hoppy and coming second is the Sheep Shagger with Kermit third. Well done to you all.
But if the Sinker had submitted a video I’m sure he would have won.

Well here we go, another week gone and at least we have 2 videos here to make a decision on. I would like to give this week’s video award to …….Scotty AkA Fruit Loop for him taking control of the Sinkers camera and giving us the inside view of their boats as well as his excellent commentary .
I would also like to thank the wheel chair mob for taking care of the Frog and rescuing his boat.

Well, looks like Sinker has gone Secret Squirrel mode with his surveillance video, well done there Sir. So I guess you are this week’s winner of the video contest. And yes you caught us out, getting inside info from one of our spies in your network.

Sailing at the canal always promises a story, and this week’s outing at the Lauderdale canal jetty did not disappoint. Kermit arrived early, keen to make the most of the conditions, only to be confronted by the now-infamous wheelchair mob already occupying prime launching territory. Clustered together at the jetty like a defensive barricade, they eyed the arriving sailors with suspicion. After a brief but tense exchange, Kermit made it clear the jetty was not theirs alone. A few well-chosen words and a thinly veiled threat of organized resistance were enough to persuade them to roll on and relocate, much to their obvious annoyance.
Reinforcements soon arrived in the form of GG, whose presence added weight to the claim on the water. With the jetty secured, preparations continued and sailing finally commenced. The air was cool and sharp, biting at fingers and ears, but a steady, reliable breeze flowed down the canal, setting up ideal sailing conditions. Boats slipped smoothly onto the water, cutting clean lines as they tacked back and forth, sails full and obedient.
Peace, however, was never going to last. A short while later, two of the wheelchair mob’s henchmen returned, advancing with theatrical menace while waving their transmitters from the safety of their chairs. They loitered at the edge of the action, heckling and posturing, clearly hoping to disrupt proceedings. Their efforts escalated when one of them attempted to push Kermit toward the water’s edge in a clumsy act of retaliation.
That proved to be a mistake. The group reacted swiftly, pushing back both figuratively and literally. Faced with unified resistance and a complete lack of success, the henchmen beat a hasty retreat, rolling away in defeat and leaving the canal to the sailors once more.
As the afternoon wore on, the cold air began to win the battle. Fingers stiffened, concentration waned, and common sense prevailed. One by one, boats were recovered and the group retired to the shore, where warmth, laughter, and storytelling took over. Tales of the week were exchanged, victories exaggerated, mishaps improved upon, and plans made for future sessions.
With this week’s video competition attracting only a single entry, the result is beyond dispute. Congratulations go to the frog himself—Mr Kermit—who claims victory by default, if not by undeniable style.
Just say’nAfter viewing both videos and weighing up options on who will pay the most for a win it looks like that Kermit is this week’s winner, plus it didn’t help Sinker distracting us causing 2 boats to run aground.

Good videos from all. Gadgets FPV landing even looked spot on, and it’s a pity Gadget and I couldn’t get closer to Predators plane. Great day flying for all minus one.
Well haven’t seen the video yet, but it seems the Sinker has won this week as it is the only entry .
Week done Sinker

Well it’s a bit late coming but we’ll worth the wait. Mr Sinker showing his full potential with video making and editing and submitting an award winning video to be this week’s winner.
Kermit missed a good day’s sailing and the opertunity to be able to sail around Ron’s Reef sign without running aground
After watching all the videos here, I have come to a decision about this week’s winner and feel that they are all good videos, so this week’s winner is…….
SINKER, KERMIT, HOPPY AND SHEEP SHAGGER.
all equal first, no bitchin there fellas.
Picture of the week goes to Sinker
And the most times for running aground to Kermit
