Saving Old Seagulls

Charles - a lot of the credit has to go to James. The motor I used he built. The boat I built I am sure contributed to my success, runs real nice and only weighs 40 pounds, but most credit lies with the engine and its builder. Gotta credit my daughter too, for not gaining any weight and agreeing to do the race in those conditions. We both took a lot of slams and bumps, bruises etc.

The Committee will have a corrected Trophy/Prize list coming very soon - as we've had to update some of the forms & correct some of the Trophy desgnations.

Line Honours looks like it'll go to you, Michael, this year, as that's what our entry form says - however the Line Honours Trophy has been confirmed as open to all boats/engines - sports included. Turns out our Entry form has been wrong since 2015.

Something to avoid for next year..!

I don't see you in the list Mr. Bits... What happened?

Nudge,

I'd like to think I planned all along to sit back and let my far better half do the heavy lifting this year in Sheweed

But the truth is, I learned a good lesson about adequate port chamfering...!

Hopefully, Inappropriate redeems herself next year..!

so it was a boat issue or the motor that let you down?
being rough would have made it an interesting day all the same.

No no.. I let myself down with the motor.

No no.. I let myself down with the motor.

After all that time working on it too!

All good - I know what went wrong, so I won't be making that mistake twice. Plus the misses did well - so I had something to smile about...
