Saving Old Seagulls

Nudge will you be getting your feet wet this Easter, haven't heard a peep from the Kiwis.

Well I hope NOT to get my feet wet, but I do hope to get ALL the way down the river.

I have a Go Pro knock off to have a play with, so hopefully I can get a few good pics / video.

No idea who else is going, I've sent a text to a few of the ones I know and either had no reply or a Sorry can't make it this year.

I hope I'm not the only one with a 20 footer.... winning by default is no fun!

Do you guys have classes according to boat length, Nudge?
I thought it was just 10ft or 12ft minimums, depending on engine class?

And Nudge, PLEASE tell someone it's "Bermudian" - not "Bermudan".

Taken from "the event" page.
Down the bottom "Notes on hulls"
minimum hull length is 10ft for one man and 12ft for two man,

And the class I will be going in:
New Bermudan Flea Class: mono hull, minimum length 12 ft, max 20ft,
Sorry! New Bermudian Flea Class: mono hull, minimum length 12 ft, max 20ft,

I still to new to it all (will only be my second trip) to know much about the rules.

A quick snip it from the start.
Thanks AusAnzani for the tip.... still took me 10min to work it out
I will get up some more later. It's 10min long so you may want to fast forward some of the bits.


Thanks Jacob for making the film

it is not always dead flat clam! They speed past.... And we catch up! We know someone else that races like this... I wonder who that might be...

more to come as I wade through them!

After listening to that Seagull drone for 10 minutes while watching your film, any of the viewers will understand the sense of Nirvana that you get, when the noise stops & the world goes silent... apart from the odd expletive!


I view the peace & quiet as a blessing!

That's a very good bit of film work, tell your son he's got the job!

Going against the flow!

We where still making way... but only just!
Till we turned around.
