    Variable wind day twas    but for a skilled  sailor there was no problem so I had a great sail but unfortunately Ragazza   refused to sail for the Mooose   “they say a boat and its skipper pick each other”   …….  so i guess the Regazza didn’t want Moooose to sail her  understandable really   who would want to be on the mud banks most of the day   So after studying my sailing technique the Mooooose paid the fee and was allowed to sail the Duck Hunter   an to be fair he was still rough but with help will improve  in a year or so  Then the big Bad Angel arrived ……his boat gave up the ghost after seeing the two green boats commanding the canal  an he also paid a modest fee  for the honour of sailing the Duck Hunter  ol Pinkie was in a world of his own today sailing near the top end of the canal after learning Mooose was going to be on the water so can’t talk about his day  the Reef Hunter  (Ron B  )was a bit of a disappointment he did not touch a sand bar nor did he do a Moooose an ram himself onto the sandbar (named after him )  I sure hope he improves soon…. lastly   a few weeks back I promised to be kind to the Predator  for he had a bad run at the pond no one likes to be criticised for their lack of sailing abilities but today he’s back Predator has his MOJO back with fine graceful manoeuvres he sailed his screwing gay 30  into the canals water and barely parted the water  safe to say he’s  back to normal    surprise visit was from Uncle G who came up to the pontoon to apologise to Predator for Ramming him not once but twice the screw’n gay 30  has at least a days work to repair her  it was fun to watch  but accidents do happen ay ………..twice       ps  I made $40 dollars for the day

    What a superb day  and today we were blessed from a God and his absolute gorgeous goddess daughter Sally….  Mikes wisdom on all things RC sailing was   without doubt a high light of today’s sailing  but sally    was  to much for most of us ol timers today  causing chaos  and confusion  with the merry men  including me ” example”  I was sailing along in a nice place when I sneaked a peek across to perve on .sally…..on seeing her my hands shook my fingers pushed levers  thumbs pressed buttons  then Im hitting other boats  in a blink of an eye this goddess reduced the fleet to scattered floundering  hulks  ( Is this how Mike wins his races ) certainly worked well for him today …..It wasn’t Ron’s  day today with more servo trouble and leaving the pond (he is our marker for the shallow water)  Our two newbies sailed well with some fine hits and bumps earning  them 6 out of ten points for the day fine effort boys  predator showed fantastic form with aggressive manoeuvres   and on this day he left the fountain alone and left it to another to play with it …..Uncle G was in excellent  form once again with a few wins an some other places  not worth mentioning really ……….long tall always a fighter had a few hits today but bounced back from the bank to get places in the final count….. cant remember what they were ……. again not important      did god win ?  if he did thanks team for letting the main lander have the glory of thinking He won   Now the question I know your all waiting for is how did the duck hunter fair       No bloody good it was sally’s fault  her beauty cast a glow across the pond and I was lost in its reflection  thus sailing out of any chances of a place in the silly races  AS  to the other place getters  long tall when he bothers to put a report in will let ya know how ya went ……      Thanks Mike for your help in setting up the boats  for today’s  bit of fun  hope the weather stays nice an unpredictable  couse that’s how we like it      kermit la frog

    OH MY GOD  PREDATOR     you the man             great to hear that she sails so well  but an its a big but  when the ol thing an I went past  why were most or all of the sailors  carrying white walking sticks and hanging on to the arms of others  you were the only one without a stick or a helper  soooo my question is…….  is this a fair representation of the sailing members  you were up against an you still came  fifth an fourth  an lets not forget the magnificent third  an yes the boat is 21 years old  but the paint is not yet a month old  a bit more tweaking  maybe needed  but as a seasoned sailor perhaps a few quite lessons at the royal toadhall yacht club  would be helpful  just ring up Admiral kermit la frog for an appointment    A FINE EFFORT   keep  trying     REGARDS  KERMIT   PS  bring along uncle G  sounds like the boy needs some help to

    IM IN A bit of a quandary  does any one read the story’ s about the events of the day   I ask because no one has come to the defence of  ol predator or the future god pinkie    a story not quite factual but with a little bit of truth in it   did pinki say stomp on the frog  was it justified  an then predator   I called him a lesser known sailor   no one corrected me  its no fun if  no one cares  to add their bit  or to have  shot at the writer  so come on you bunch of bilge  sailors  stir the pot  or do as your doing now being a girl

    YEP  TWAS  a very exciting day   not every one saw the incident on the fountain  where predator rammed his vessel onto the tentacles of the fountain  this is the truth of the incident…… now known as abagails    testicles tentacles         One of the sailing elite members attempted another lesser known sailor (predator ) into a dastardly act of violence against a  little insignificant green boat   who likes to remain leading from the rear   so how and why did this happen here is the true story of this incident    Pinkie who had asked me  to be a proxie for him (while he was crook)  with certain little manoeuvres to be performed on god ( I didn’t think that was right ) but I did as requested  but failed to be in the winning block as he has become accustomed and I beleave asking predator to stomp on the frog was his  vengeance for failure (and for it to be filmed ) on my part   that’s the gist of it …….so here is what happened to the vicious attempted attack   after several races it was obvious that no good was going to happen to the green machine  if I  don’t force the issue…………  from being the gentle safe careful skipper that every one knows   I pursued miss Abigail hard and fast around the course until we approached the fountain at full speed with me right up her clackar  he  looked over his shoulder an it was over  good night miss abigail she hit that fountain so fast it moved the sprinkler 2 feet   so ends any one who wishes to stomp on the frog  that dear friends is why abigail is high an dry on the fountain    …….sad but true      the end

    THE music was perfect for today’s video  the reflection on the water of the yachts  was indeed a interesting sight  as was Mooose turning up to sail  although under the tutoring of the master mariner  Kermit la frog  he did manage several groundings  an several  near misses  but it was done with a smile  …………others not his    dear o’l Ron was missed today  he’s always the one to race against   because  you can always beat him so if your feeling down  race him  that will make ya better   works for me    LONG TALL was participating in the days fun with his black sails scaring our favourite  pelican from one end of the canal to the other  such a shame we  only see them rarely now a days  big bullie    BIG BAD DAVE  came for a sail and a bash and a BBQ  it was indeed a fine sight to see the yellow terror sail through the fleet making others swerve out of his way nothing but nothing stops the yellow terror  in its quest for clear water ……… his eyes tighten….. saliva runs down his chin  from his slightly open lips  indeed a frighting sight is our Dave  an then there was Predator as his name implies he can and did spin  a few boats around with his stern attack with superb skill  he sent two boats aground  others were scattered  its well worth watching  then its a quite low giggle and a sorry  ya can’t go crook at  the little fella   with that giggle    who else   ohhhh yea bad angel  with his very pretty blue an yellow Chinese  sumo  yacht an he did wrestle with it wobbling from side to side not knowing which side of the canal to beach its self on… in the end it was both sides    lastly me      I  sail’d with finesse as always   an that was a true recollection of todays sailing  so help me god

    GOOD JOB LITTLE FELLA     MY 4 boats are at the finishing paint stage  just waiting for the humidity to improve  I could just heat up the office / gym / area up and will probably do that after sailing in the morning   The grass hopper is in a make over stage with a new colour scheme  under way…….  guess the colour   heaps of picks of my repairs and builds …. as your boat is there  no good showing mine because there a carbon copy of yours    the 95 and the 65 will have a colour scheme  I know how they will be  so i will start on the tem plates tonight  one again well done cobber

    YES today wasn’t Pinkies day  although at one time Duck Hunter had gods craft in an iron lock  at the far point (near the fountain ) he did escape …… this is a pattern pinky has had with god for some time and he specificity asked for this manoeuvre to be performed  in his absence  it was great to see new targets opps  sailors on the pond I hope they weren’t scared off by  the antics of others to get to the winning post…..  racing past us and causing mayhem with their wake   doesn’t bother me as “I’m not interested in such trivial glory ” I’m in it for the pleasure of hunting down the ducks  but to be honest today’s  day was pinkies day so I couldn’t sail my way the winning way    I did notice predator wasn’t there today  I heard on the grape vine …..   get it…grape vine      that when he heard that I  was to be pinkie  he decided to   “not be there”   such is the fear pinkie has on the pond     as to the not up to standard for the duck hunter  this was caused by electrical problems / water in the hull and……  buggar can’t think of anything else   so as of this time duck hunter is on the hard  getting repaired   my congrats go to all the winners today  just beware pinkie will be back                 PS   did ya get the pun : grape vine…  winery  puddle duck  anyone ?
