To Tim and all the Mosquito association, thankyou for making one of the new people at the States feel very welcome.

Some highlights smile :

Finding out I got the encouragement award.
Meeting new people and getting heaps of help from all the Mossie people (not all classes are this way and it certainly is a credit to all).
Finding out I am not as far back as I thought I would be, Saturday's race 1 and 2 was pretty close at the back of the field.
Dinner on Saturday with Matt and Simon, I have not laughed as much for a long time. Thanks guys.

Some lowlights:

Trick for newbies - dont use aluminium rivets on your mast cry
Getting the mast stuck in the bottom when capsized.....not a good look !!

I will be replacing all the rivets in the mast this week and back up and sailing this weekend. I cant wait for the next opportunity to sail with other Mossie's and go to the next State titles.

Finally, Emma took a whole lot of good pictures of people and their boasts. I will pass them on to all once I have downloaded them off the camera.

Thanks again.
