Mike Kelly and I have wanted that to happen for two years now...call it unlucky and twisty fate for now. They may still pull off a wonderment, but back in the day...how many of you remember seeing the fireworks when Carlton finished the first year?

The CMA worked for regattas and earned their keep. That was a time when regattas were put on by sailors for sailors, as the saying goes. They will return soon, I hope :-)
