Posts: 858 Victoria Australia | A huge thank-you to the Portarlington Club from me personly, I was made to feel right at home from the instant I walked through the gate, both the shore members and rescue guys were more then willing to go that extra bit A job well done Unfortunately life doesn't always go as planned so sadly I didn't get to sail in the states as I'd hoped, with kids in tow I did sail @ Warrnambool in the afternoon in 15-17knot winds gusting up to 20knots frequently, this was fun but the 2.5metre swell sapped most of my strength on the day leaveing me asleep in the comfy chair when I got home.... Saturday morning I was well n truly battered n bruised, so with my aches n pains I made the trip armed with the camera..... 495 photos later I'll shut up and start uploading..... here's what all the fuss is about.... edit: the pre racing thread is here.... http://www.catsailor.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=270066&#Post270066 Yar, & this ere post be done without a sin'le drop o' rum passin' me lips
